"Over the years, the services provided by Catalyst International’s consultants in profiling job candidates, development programs and coaching for effective organization growth have been of great value to me. Their objective view of what is needed to build an organization for the future has proven to be a key element in my career success. Working with Dr. Ann Ortiz and her staff, one of our combined greatest accomplishments was building a new management team after an acquisition. I would highly recommend the use of Catalyst International’s services to anyone who wants to build a company with competent and trustworthy staff."

"I was introduced to Ann Ortiz at the request of Ross Perot, Jr., who wanted her to do an assessment of the new business he had purchased, the Dallas Mavericks. She did a fantastic job of assessment of my senior management team and gave me extensive counsel in terms of establishing a structure that could be both beneficial to the organization long term and to the growth of these individual employees. She was candid, indeed prescient, in discussing whom she thought would have a difficult time going forward in the organization given the new challenges and changes in direction."

"Tucker Rocky has enjoyed a relationship with Ann Ortiz for over 15 years. We have gone through a complete re-engineering of our company including the upgrading of our entire senior management team. In the area of professional testing and evaluations, the information and guidance provided was invaluable in building the finest management team in the history of our company. Ann has also been instrumental in guiding us through some tough decisions in the areas of leadership. I could not be happier with the results."
