What Lavaux does

LAVAUX Consulting and Advisory is a privately held boutique management consulting and strategic advisory firm founded in 2016 and headquartered at 470 St Kilda Rd., Melbourne, Australia, with additional offices in Dubai (UAE) and Switzerland. The firm provides management and change consulting alongside senior-executive advisory services focused on strategy, leadership, organizational transformation, and energy transitions. Its primary customer segments are oil and gas companies, national oil companies (NOCs), utilities, energy-sector investors, and broader enterprise organizations, with named touchpoints including Shell, ExxonMobil, ADNOC, Aramco, Qatar Petroleum, PetroChina, CNOOC, INPEX, Lukoil, Woodside, Deloitte, PwC, KBR, and WorleyParsons. Engagements are delivered through a senior-led model — Managing Partner & CEO Dr Dorel Iosif, Managing Partner UAE Robin Mills, and Executive Advisors including former Deloitte Australia Chairman Keith Jones, former Pembridge Resources Plc Chairman/CEO Gati Al-Jabouri, former KBR Inc EVP Graham Hill, and Renewables-sector CEO Mukesh Kolhe — and include strategic workshops, war games and simulations, board effectiveness reviews, and thought-leadership content.

The firm's core technology product is the Enterprise Optimizer Platform, delivered through a partnership with River Logic, providing code-free prescriptive analytics with drag-and-drop modeling, cloud-based in-memory computation on Azure, integration with Power BI, SQL Server, and Active Directory, and an accompanying Enterprise Manager module for collaborative scenario and data management. An IIOT reference architecture extends the platform to real-time data collection and edge/cloud analytics for asset-intensive industries. LAVAUX has also formed a flagship strategic alliance with Qamar Energy to co-deliver energy-transition advisory, and CEO Dr Dorel Iosif published a commercially distributed leadership book, "The Leadership Challenge Reimagined," in 2024.

LAVAUX monetizes through project-based professional services engagements — management and change consulting, strategic advisory, and Enterprise Optimization Services — with quote-driven, undisclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting corporate leaders, boards, and senior executives via direct advisory relationships, supported by thought-leadership content (LinkedIn, the firm's Insights section, external publications including The National UAE and Bloomberg), and keynote participation at industry events such as the World Future Energy Summit, the CWC Asia Pacific Summit, and the CO2CRC Symposium. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent-company structure.
