Kristin Baldwin

Managing Partner

Kristin brings more than 20 years of experience in executive leadership, operational strategy, and organizational development.

Known for her ability to navigate growth and change with clarity and composure, Kristin has helped scale companies, professionalize founder-led enterprises, and lead complex organizations through transformation.

Her work spans a range of industries and organizational models, but her philosophy is consistent: create systems that serve people, implement strategy with discipline, and lead with empathy. Kristin has worked closely with C-suite executives, boards, and institutional partners to build scalable processes, align internal teams, and prepare companies for long-term success – whether they’re stabilizing operations, preparing for succession, or expanding their footprint.

Her leadership has been recognized through several honors, including being named to the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal’s 40 Under Forty list, and receiving multiple accolades for civic service and community engagement.

She plays a critical role at Emeraude, not only driving service delivery but also nurturing the collaborative culture that defines the firm. Kristin is deeply engaged in community leadership, serving on nonprofit and regional boards that advance economic development, education, and equity. Her experience in both business and civic life makes her a trusted partner to enterprises seeking alignment between mission, momentum, and operational excellence.

With Emeraude clients, Kristin brings structure to ambition and helps businesses build the foundation they need to thrive – internally and externally.
