About the firm

Independent by design. Trusted by intent.

Kestrel was founded on the belief that great advice is senior, candid and free of conflicts. Eighteen years on, that's still how we work.

Our story

Built by operators, for operators.

Our founders left large consultancies to build something different: a firm small enough to stay senior on every engagement, and independent enough to always tell clients the truth.

Today Kestrel is a partner-led practice advising boards and executive teams across six industries — with a reputation for rigor and discretion that keeps clients coming back.

Our principles

How we hold ourselves.

Candor

We tell clients what they need to hear, not what's easy to say. Straight talk is the whole value.

Rigor

Every recommendation is grounded in evidence and stress-tested before it reaches your desk.

Discretion

We handle sensitive decisions with the confidentiality they demand — always.
