We're pleased to welcome Brian Farber as a strategic communications consultant at Kestrel Labs.

Brian spent nearly seven years leading global PR for Autodesk's AEC business, shaping how one of the most important platforms in our industry shows up to customers and the market. Before that, he was a White House appointee at the U.S. Department of Transportation, leading communications and public affairs across a 55,000-person agency.

He brings a clear understanding of both the AEC ecosystem and how to position complex technology in the real world. That shows up immediately — Brian was already in the room with us at the Autodesk AECO Technology Partner Summit and will be on the floor with the team at the AIA '26 Innovation Zone in June.

Welcome, Brian.
