Vladimir Stepanyan, founder
Vladimir has spent ten-plus years in strategic consulting and business-process automation, and Lumina is that experience made into a firm. He scopes every Review, reads the records, and runs the readout himself.
“I am on every fit call, and if I do not think $4,500 will pay for itself in your business, we will say so on it.”
We work with US companies from $1M a year in revenue — the work is built for the range where a leak is a payroll, roughly $5M to $100M. Right now that is one principal and a small outbound team. You will be told the name of whoever calls you.
The team
Small on purpose. Senior on purpose.
- 10+
- Years in strategic consulting and business-process automation behind the method.
- Fortune 500
- The scale of the US financial institution where our people ran revenue operations before this.
- 1
- Principal who scopes the work, reads the records, and runs the readout himself.
The team behind the method — product managers, business analysts, engineers and financial consultants — built and ran revenue operations inside a Fortune 500 US financial institution before Lumina. At that scale, follow-up is not a habit; it is a controlled process with a number attached. Bringing that discipline to owner-led businesses is the whole idea of this firm.
A large firm sells you a partner and staffs you an analyst. Lumina stays small so that gap cannot open: you speak with the principal before you pay anything, and the readout comes from him — not from a deck assembled by someone you never met.
And we run a business, not just advise one: our own outbound team, our own follow-up rules, our own numbers on a dashboard. The method page shows where our own audit hurt — we take the medicine before we prescribe it.
Before you ask
Why you may have heard from us first.
Lumina’s team makes outbound calls to owner-led businesses. If your phone rang and it was us, that is how we grow — and we would rather say so plainly than have you wonder.
You can ask us to stop at any time. One line is enough, you do not have to explain why, and you do not need to have been a client — tell the person on the call, or use the do-not-contact page, and you are off every list we own within one business day.
What we are not
Three things we are not, in writing.
Not a software company.
There is no platform, no subscription, and no ongoing fee to keep something working. If you want a fix built after the Review, we scope it as its own decision — a defined piece of work with a defined price and a defined end.
Not a lead-generation agency.
We will not sell you more inquiries while the ones you already pay for go unanswered. Adding volume to a broken response process scales the problem, so response gets fixed first — that order is a written internal rule, not a preference.
Not the other Lumina.
Lumina Business Advisory is Vladimir Stepanyan’s firm. If you were looking for a different Lumina, you are in the wrong place, and we would rather you know that now.
The next step
Twenty minutes with the person who runs the readout.
Your numbers, no deck, and a straight answer at the end — including “not yet”, if that is the truth.
