At Catalum, strategy and execution go hand in hand. I help companies build the structure, systems, and strategy they need to grow and actually deliver. Catalum is a focused consultancy built for businesses that need experienced leadership and tailored support without the overhead of a full time executive.
With nearly 20 years of experience leading federal health programs, I know how to simplify complexity and build systems that work. I’m already partnering with amazing clients, and it has been incredibly fulfilling.
Catalum Strategies was built on one belief: great strategy only matters if you can execute it.
I’m Nichole Priddy, Founder and President of Catalum Strategies, with nearly 20 years of experience in federal health and government consulting. I was honored to receive the 2024 Leading with Impact Award, recognizing leadership and innovation in this space.
I got my start supporting the Defense Health Agency, my first client and the place I cut my teeth in government contracting. That early experience shaped a career spent leading large portfolios and supporting complex programs across the Military and Veterans Health markets.

I’ve partnered with SDVOSBs, 8(a)s, small businesses, mid tier firms, and Fortune 500 companies serving federal clients. I’ve built and led teams, managed portfolios exceeding $100 million, and driven pipeline growth on the same scale.
My experience spans P&L management, pricing and rate strategy, bid and proposal development, capture management, and business operations. I bring a strong balance of strategy, execution, and financial insight to every engagement.

Integrity isn’t just a value for me, it’s the standard. I believe people want to work with good people and good companies, and that trust, transparency, and doing the right thing are non negotiable.
These principles guide every partnership, every project, and every decision I make at Catalum. Clients know they’re working with someone who leads with honesty and delivers with consistency.

After nearly two decades helping companies strengthen their delivery and growth engines, I launched Catalum Strategies to give leaders flexible, senior level support without the overhead of full time executive roles.
My approach is straightforward
clear structure, sound strategy, and execution that delivers results. I help companies move from ideas to action and from effort to impact.
At Catalum Strategies, I partner with leaders who need senior level support without the overhead of a full time executive. My work is hands on, practical, and grounded in nearly 20 years of real world experience in federal health and government consulting.
Every engagement is tailored, straightforward, and focused on results. If your team needs fractional support, or if you’re looking for additional experts, I’d love to connect.
I step in where companies need support most: operations, BD and capture, proposals, pipeline strategy, portfolio oversight, pricing, and the clarity that makes day to day execution easier and more effective. I help teams shape opportunities, strengthen delivery, and run smarter. This is the work I love!
