Catalyst

Catalyst® is a design and development company founded on the idea of creating iconic products that enable people to explore and share their world. This lifestyle accessories brand was founded by Josh Wright and June Lai after they saw that there was nothing that fit their needs in the market.

Josh has designed products for high profile brands including Tumi®, Ecko Unltd®, Gravis®, Burton®, Sims®, Teva®, Keen®, Microsoft®, Reef®, Pacsafe® and the Coleman® company.

June is the research and development and business person at Catalyst.  Her first degree was a BSc in Biochemistry, and she worked as a scientist and then went on to do her MBA, CFA, CPA and CMA and work in finance and international business management. June worked in investment banking, strategy and mergers and acquisitions for multinationals managing cross functional teams.
