Meet Us
The people behind PAVALI
Two founders and one Miami firm with a simple job: helping family-owned and owner-led businesses run without depending on the owner for everything.
Meet the founders
Miami consultants for family and owner-led businesses
PAVALI is led by Paulo Lara and Vanessa Iglesias, who bring more than 20 years of combined experience in strategic consulting, operations, finance, marketing and real estate. We start from a simple idea: the systems that helped a business get started are not always the ones it needs for the next stage. We help owners build those systems without losing what made the company theirs.
Paulo Lara – Founder & Strategic Consultant
Paulo brings over two decades of experience in business strategy, financial optimization and operational efficiency. He has a proven track record of turning underperforming companies into profitable, well-structured operations. Today he pairs that operating discipline with automation and applied AI, so improvements stick and scale.
Vanessa Iglesias – Founder, Marketing & Real Estate Advisor
Vanessa Iglesias combines her expertise in marketing, sales, and real estate advisory to drive the growth of Pavali Consulting and its clients. With a strategic and results-oriented approach, she leads commercial initiatives and brand positioning efforts, ensuring every project reaches its full market potential.
Work directly with the founders
No junior teams and no hand-offs. Paulo and Vanessa work with you on the diagnosis, the redesign and the execution, and bring in automation and AI only where it pays off.
