Nobil supports management teams on transactions, investment decisions, market questions, portfolio reviews and commercial opportunities. Engagements can be structured as a defined project or ongoing advisory support.
Support for acquisitions, divestitures and investment opportunities, from early screening and valuation through due diligence, investment cases and management materials.
Support for commercial questions around markets, assets, routes to market and growth. Nobil looks at trade flows, origination, capacity, competitors and economics to help teams understand where an opportunity fits in the value chain.
Market analysis built around the questions commercial, trading and management teams actually need to answer, from regional flows and capacity to competitors, market structure and investment opportunities.
Commodity markets are complicated enough. I like to make the decision simpler: understand what is really driving the opportunity, test the assumptions, and be clear about the risks.”

Iuliana Dorn's background spans corporate development, M&A, strategy and global agricultural commodities. At Viterra, formerly Glencore Agriculture, she progressed through the company's lean global Corporate Development team from corporate valuation and strategy into global M&A, evaluating acquisitions, divestitures and strategic investments across agricultural commodity assets and infrastructure.
