The Team

Emily Winsauer, Founder & Chief Strategist

Throughout her career, Emily has been drawn to the structures and processes that govern how things operate, why they thrive, and how they fall apart.

While working in the agency world, she was surprised by how often qualified, hard-working digital marketing teams struggle to produce results that fully support their company’s strategic goals.

These experiences led her to start Kestrel, where she can use her extensive experience in digital marketing, strategy, and analytics to improve workplace performance—and the day-to-day experiences of digital marketing teams.

Anne Winsauer, Talent Manager

After years in the design and education fields, Anne joined her daughter Emily at Kestrel to manage financial and general business operations, but found a real passion for the freelancers we work with and moved into her current role as the talent manager.

As a former entrepreneur herself, she brings a wealth of experience and a passion for continuing education. Anne particularly enjoys supporting the freelance content professionals we work with through our division The Content Hiring Company, and using her decades of graphic design expertise to manage our visual brand identity.

DAve Walker - Operations Manager

Dave’s deep background in business operations was primarily in the marine and RV industries before he joined Kestrel, but those logistical, budgetary, and inventory management skills have proven invaluable. From accounting and forecasting to stepping in on client projects as needed, Dave is the one who helps us get things done.
