What Cavok Group does

Cavok Group is a US-based technical consulting firm founded in 1996 and headquartered in Fort Worth, focused on the aviation, aerospace, defense, and rail industries. The firm supports clients through advisory work targeting safety, productivity, and strategic decision-making in complex industry settings, and has extended its capability base through the acquisitions of TeamSAI (2015) and Avisa Aviation Safety Systems (2017). It also develops proprietary technologies aimed at safety and productivity enhancement.

Cavok Group operates today as Oliver Wyman Vector, an integrated practice within Oliver Wyman's global Transportation and Services Practice, which in turn sits inside Marsh McLennan. This affiliation provides access to cross-firm capabilities in risk, reinsurance and capital, people and investments, and management consulting, and underpins its claim of global reach with deep industry expertise.

The business model is enterprise consulting engagements sold directly to aviation, aerospace, defense, and rail clients; no pricing details are publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on thought leadership — including the Global Fleet and MRO Market Forecast series, the Lift Off to Leadership survey with IAWA, MRO labor surveys, and the Velocity Podcast — to generate inbound interest and establish authority. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed revenue, funding events, or parent financial backing beyond the Oliver Wyman / Marsh McLennan umbrella.
