ABOUT KESTREL ONE
Built from experience. Created for what comes next.
Kestrel One was built from decades inside product organizations—leading product development, design, sourcing, materials, quality, and the systems that connect them. That experience revealed a simple opportunity: product organizations could work differently. Kestrel One was created to make that possible.
Three decades inside product development.
Kestrel One was founded by Mark Heard following a career leading product organizations across apparel design, product development, sourcing, textile development, quality, technical design, and product management.
30+ Years
Executive leadership across product development, design, sourcing, materials, quality, and technical disciplines.

Enterprise Leadership
Built and led cross-functional product organizations, teams, processes, and technology.
Transformation Experience
Led major organizational change, including building new product development and sourcing capabilities.
Experience showed us there was another way.
Across companies, brands, teams, and product categories, the same challenges appeared in different forms: fragmented information, disconnected decisions, repeated problems, and calendars expected to compensate for weaknesses in the development process.
Kestrel One grew from the belief that better product development begins by changing the system behind the product—not simply adding another tool to it.

Puts the operating philosophy into the working environment.
Kestrel One Advisory
