Steven P. Beeks, commonly known as Steve, currently serves as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Director of Catalyst Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: CATL), a special purpose acquisition company headquartered at 1007 Ocean Avenue, Suite 501, Santa Monica, California 90403. He shares the co-CEO role with Nicolas A. van Dyk, while Craig Elson serves as Chief Financial Officer. The SPAC's management team is described in its S-1 filing as having decades of experience successfully identifying and capitalizing on emerging technological and secular trends across different sectors, with deep transaction experience having executed and integrated numerous transactions as operators, investors, and advisors. Beeks filed his initial statement of beneficial ownership with the SEC in late July 2026, and the insider roster lists him as Co-CEO alongside van Dyk, with directors including Webster Richard Cook, D. Melvin Lindsey, Christopher Heatherly, and A. Craig Elson. The sponsor entity is Catalyst Sponsor LLC. Beeks also identifies himself on LinkedIn as a Strategic Advisor focused on entertainment and media, as well as merger and acquisition integration.
Beeks spent approximately twenty years at Lionsgate, where he was a key strategist in the company's growth from an independent studio into a major global content platform. He formally joined Lionsgate in 2003 as part of its acquisition of Artisan Entertainment, where he had been a senior executive since 1998. He was named Lionsgate's President in early 2004, and his title was expanded in 2007 to include the role of co-COO. In 2012, he was named Co-President of the Motion Picture Group, where he spearheaded business and strategic initiatives, including oversight of Lionsgate's film production and acquisition strategic plan. Beeks was one of the architects of Lionsgate's $1 billion-plus annual home entertainment operation, an industry leader in market share, and he helped grow the company's 16,000-title film and television library. During his tenure, Lionsgate's film slate grossed nearly $10 billion at the global box office over a five-year period, led by franchises such as The Hunger Games, John Wick, and Saw, as well as critical favorites like La La Land, which won six Oscars. He also oversaw the growth of Pantelion Films and Codeblack Films, labels targeting Hispanic and African-American audiences, managed Lionsgate's acquisition and distribution relationship with Roadside Attractions (Manchester by the Sea), and helped orchestrate theatrical distribution agreement renewals with StudioCanal and CBS Films. Beeks exited Lionsgate at the end of 2017, transitioning to a consulting role, and was not replaced in his co-COO or co-President posts.
Following his departure from Lionsgate, Beeks joined the board of directors of QYOU Media Inc. on November 1, 2018, marking his first post-Lionsgate move. QYOU Media, founded in 2014 by industry veterans from Lionsgate, MTV, and CinemaNow, is a curator of premium best-of-web video for multiscreen distribution with millennial-focused products including linear TV networks, genre-based series, mobile apps, and VOD formats. Beeks expressed interest in the shifting paradigm toward digital-first content, OTT, and mobile delivery as millennial audiences become the dominant consumer demographic. He has also been noted as exploring entrepreneurial business opportunities focused on emerging growth markets in mobile viewership and digital-first content. In addition to his SPAC and board roles, Beeks appears to have served as head coach of Aland United in Finland's top football league for nearly three years, resigning at the end of the season in October, though the specific years are not detailed in the available sources.
Beeks studied at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) and Harvard Business School, according to his Crunchbase profile. A Cal Poly magazine feature profiled him as Lionsgate President, confirming his alma mater. He is described across sourc
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001308871 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 3 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 3 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
