EXCEL INTERNATIONALLY WITHOUT THE OVERHEAD
Where decisions are made.
Unlike consultants who advise from the sidelines, we execute on the ground: marketing, sales, and operations, run by people who know your industry and your market.
At V1XL, we are seasoned industry professionals delivering across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
Start smart, avoid the costly missteps and build traction before committing to local overhead.
MARKETING THAT OPENS DOORS. SALES THAT WINS. OPERATIONS THAT DELIVERS LOCALLY.
Let's talkTRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS
From operators and service companies to technology providers and strategic partners,
V1XL supports organizations navigating growth across complex international markets.
The companies and leaders we’ve worked alongside tell the story better than we ever could.
Vinnie worked in my team as our North America Advisor in NORWEP. His local knowledge, network, and industry understanding made him one of the strongest advisors I have had in my nearly 30 years with NORWEP. If you want to open doors in Houston, Vinnie is your guy.
Håkon Skretting,
former NORWEP Director
Vinnie’s expertise in opening markets to new technologies was key in expanding RESMAN’s business, not only across North America, but also by breaking into five Latin American countries in just 2 years while leading the Americas team. He built a winning operations structure that sustained growth long after he left the company.
Torger Skillingstad,
former CEO at RESMAN
I’ve known and worked with Vinnie for over 24 years. His local knowledge, experience and network have been key in providing exposure of InflowControl’s technology to operators in Houston, which led us to engage V1XL’s services in the US and expand into markets like Brazil through his partner network.
Brent Brough,
CCO at InflowControl
Vinnie opened doors for EMC with a major global E&P operator in Houston, helping us gain traction and position our technology. We look forward to working with him again in the future.
Dr. Karl R. Klungtvedt,
CEO at European Mud Company
Vinnie worked with us to establish a partnership in Brazil with a Norwegian company that has now been successful for more than eight years. His local expertise and support were key to this success, and we look forward to continuing working together.
Mauro Weiss,
Executive Director at Vectra Engineering Brazil

WHY V1XL?
FOUNDER & MANAGING PARTNER
Vinnie
Carvalho
I spent 26 years in the industry, most of it opening international markets for companies with great technologies and services.
Again and again, I saw the same pattern with other companies: technologies with stalled growth, held back not by the solution but by the lack of proper messaging, local presence and relationships, and follow-through in the market they were chasing.
That gap is why I founded V1XL: to help companies get traction in international markets without the overhead. Open the doors, build the relationships, and follow through to signed deals in the markets where it would otherwise stall.
When you sign with V1XL, my career, my network, and my reputation stand behind the result. That is why clients trust us with their growth.
We look forward to working with you. Not as a rep or a consultant, but as a member of your team, helping you excel in your target markets.
