WINNING TOGETHER
Risk & Resilience in Action
Problem
A major North American insurer with $48B+ in assets lacked enterprise-wide risk visibility, limiting capital optimization and investment returns. Siloed business units made isolated risk-return decisions while extreme weather events exposed fragmented data systems, threatening the organization’s competitive position and growth trajectory.
Action
Catalant Experts partnered with C-suite leadership to architect an integrated risk framework aligned to growth goals. Cross-functional risk councils were established, along with quantitative models and interactive dashboards, which made risk-adjusted returns tangible. The team built dynamic stress testing, incorporating climate scenarios and market volatility.
Results
- $48B portfolio optimized through integrated risk-adjusted capital allocation
- Scaled finance-led innovation into enterprise risk management capability
- Reduced reinsurance costs through improved risk quantification
PE-Backed Finance Credit Risk
A private equity portfolio company required a comprehensive credit assessment across publicly-traded and middle-market exposures. Catalant Experts analyzed creditworthiness through cash flow modeling and industry trend analysis. The assessment identified material risks requiring credit enhancements or relationship exits, protecting capital while enabling selective growth.
Global Pharma Regulatory Risk
A pharmaceutical leader facing product delays from misaligned global processes and evolving regulations. Catalant Experts streamlined R&D operations cutting processes by 50% while ensuring compliance. As a result, the company launched a breakthrough oncology therapy in record time, achieving 5-year strategic milestones and unlocking new revenue streams.
SaaS Platform Enterprise Risk
A high-growth ERP provider transitioning from startup to market leader needed a comprehensive risk framework.
