Papilio Strategies · New York

Building diagnostics and energy strategy,
from a French operator's bench
to the New York market.

I'm Alexandre Dulac, founder of Papilio Strategies — a New York advisory practice helping owners and investors make energy, sustainability, and PropTech decisions with the rigor of someone who has run the operations, not just advised on them.

§ 01 · How we work

Three modes of
engagement.

Each mode is scoped to a specific decision a principal is making — an acquisition, a regulatory deadline, a product roadmap. No retainers, no slide decks for the sake of slide decks.
Mode 01
Energy Due Diligence
Pre-acquisition and portfolio energy risk, audit-grade, for owners and investors.
Mode 02
Sustainability Program Management
Turning regulatory and ESG obligations into executable roadmaps owners can actually deliver.
Mode 03
PropTech Product Advisory
Product and go-to-market guidance for compliance and energy software, from someone building it.

§ 03 · Differentiation

Why this profile
is rare.

Most advisors in this space have either operating depth or US market footing. This one has both.
01
An operator who has run a mandatory energy-audit business inside a mature regulatory regime (France), now bringing that perspective to New York as Local Law 97 reshapes the market.
02
A founder, not a consultant — I've built the firms, the software, and the methodology, not just slide decks.
03
Court-Appointed Expert at the French Court of Appeals since 2020.
04
A transatlantic profile: French operational depth, US legal and financial footing already in place (green card, active US entity).
§ 04 · Background

Two graduate degrees,
one operating practice.

Two WES-evaluated master's degrees (US equivalency): a post-graduate specialized master's from ESTP Paris in construction and real estate, and an M.S. in Management from IAE Aix-en-Provence (English track, EQUIS-accredited).

Court-Appointed Expert at the French Court of Appeals since 2020. SS3 Asbestos Technical Supervisor. Energy retrofit program advisor — the French equivalent of NYSERDA EmPower+ / ENERGY STAR Home Performance. BREEAM In-Use Practitioner, completing certification late 2026.

Member of the Bureau of the French Energy & Environment Association; member of the French Federation of Consulting Engineers.
