About Us
What we do
Kestrel Partners is a general management consulting firm that leads transformational initiatives for corporations and institutions, delivering solutions and concrete results at scale. We often handle unconventional, complex, unstructured, ambiguous, or high-consequence matters that transcend disciplines.
Our particular focus area is to provide program management expertise and services for M&A, divestitures, and other corporate initiatives. Our methodologies have been honed over decades of experience and are adapted to specific client’s needs. Each program we undertake benefits from the direct and daily involvement of a senior program manager.
In the course of a project, we work closely with senior client executives and staff in various functions to resolve issues and provide regular updates to management. Kestrel has the talent depth to quickly staff up or down depending on project needs.
We bring rigor, deep multidisciplinary competence, judgment, effectiveness, and a keen focus on client success. This can mean standard application of conventional methodologies, or it can mean deep analytics and a fundamental inquiry to establish what is necessary to succeed. In all cases, we work closely with our clients to assure they are getting the results they require and that this success fully fits and integrates with the client’s organization.
Who we are
We are an elite senior team with decades of experience in leading transformational corporate and institutional initiatives. This has entailed leading strategic formulation, business unit development, crisis management, activist investments, joint venturing, mergers and acquisitions searches, transactions, and integrations. Our staff has attained the highest professional degrees and credentials, which contribute a rigorous background for our judgement. We have sector experience in software, hardware, transportation, financial institutions, semiconductors, energy, manufacturing, consumer products, e-commerce, entertainment, and business services.
Our program managers are accustomed to organizing and managing teams comprised of all functions in a Fortune 500 corporation or gathering resources as needed in smaller organizations. We work seamlessly with our client’s in-house and external experts and consultants to ensure overall project success. Our strength lies in managing highly complex, cross-functional and multi-national projects. While we are based in the United States, we can work on projects anyway in the world.
We subscribe to the highest standards in professional ethics and integrity. This also means that we do not accept engagements with a competitor of a current client.
Why hire us
