About Us
Who We Are
Kestrel Management LLC is a nonprofit consulting firm dedicated to helping associations and mission-driven organizations operate effectively and lead with purpose. We partner with boards, executives, staff, and volunteers to build the structures, strategies, and skills that turn good intentions into lasting impact.
Our approach is hands-on and practical. We listen first, meet you where you are, and tailor our support to your organization's size, stage, and mission, whether you need ongoing management, a one-time strategic reset, or expert help running a signature event.

Leadership
Bo Bigelow — Principal
Bo Bigelow is the Principal of Kestrel Management and brings more than 25 years of nonprofit experience to the firm's work. Across more than two decades in the sector, Bo has supported associations and nonprofits through governance, operations, planning, and programming, developing a deep, practical understanding of what it takes for mission-driven organizations to thrive.
That experience anchors every Kestrel engagement: clear-eyed guidance, grounded in real-world practice, delivered alongside the people who carry your mission every day.
How We Work
We believe the best consulting partnerships are collaborative, not prescriptive. We bring expertise and an outside perspective; you bring knowledge of your mission and community. Together, we build solutions that last beyond the engagement.
