Founder
I am Thibault Catala, a French entrepreneur and business executive. I founded Catala Consulting, a boutique consulting firm specializing in strategy, distribution, and revenue management for asset management firms, family offices, and boutique hotels. Additionally, I am the Co-Founder and COO of Vertell Asset Management, an independent asset management firm based in Zurich, where our focus is on providing customized investment solutions to institutional and private clients.
As an entrepreneur, I am particularly passionate about creating value in the hospitality industry through the utilization of technology and innovation. My career began in hotel revenue management, concentrating on pricing, distribution, and technology. I have gained valuable experience working for esteemed companies in these sectors, such as Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts and InterContinental Hotels Group.
As a consultant, I have collaborated with various asset management firms, family offices, and renowned hotels, including The Sacher, Auberge Resorts Collection, Cedar Capital Partners, BlackRock, and Goldman Sachs. My role has been to assist them in optimizing their revenue, business models, and operations. Furthermore, I have taken on mentoring and advisory roles for multiple fintech startups.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management from Glion Institute of Higher Education. It is my pleasure to be a frequent speaker at industry conferences and events, and I have also been quoted in various hotel management publications.
