Who are we

Catalix is led by Tom and Filip: two Belgian entrepreneurs with a proven trackrecord in strategy, growth, and transactions. They combine the energy of a start-up with the maturity of a scale-up and the sharpness of an investor.

Their complementary experience forms the foundation of Catalix.

Tom Beyers

Managing Partner

With 25 years of experience in strategy, M&A, and entrepreneurship, Tom brings a unique combination of analytical acumen and practical experience. He has overseen more than 100 deals, spent ten years as CEO of private equity owned firms, and spent seven years as Strategy & M&A Director at CRH, a listed multinational, where he led international projects.

Over the past three years, he has built a strong reputation in Belgium with Beyers Advisory, where he has guided entrepreneurs through acquisitions, sales processes, and strategic-financial issues. His strength lies in combining sharp analysis with a pragmatic entrepreneurial approach and always with an investor's perspective.
