Windquest Group

Yesterday marked Rachel David's 10-year anniversary at Windquest Group!

For a decade, Rachel has brought drive, determination, and a steady commitment to pushing Windquest to be better. Her values-driven leadership and long-term perspective have shaped our work, our culture, and the way we show up for one another.

As Rachel puts it: “Ten years at Windquest has flown by. The amazing people and the unique diversity of our portfolio are just some of what make it such a special place to work.”

Outside the office, you’ll likely find her on the pickleball court, exploring her next great meal, or planning her next trip.

We’re grateful for the impact she’s made over the past ten years and for the example she continues to set. Thank you, Rachel, for all that you bring to Windquest.

We’re pleased to welcome Isabella DeWildt to Windquest as our Accounting Intern for the year ahead. Izzy brings a strong mix of curiosity, maturity, and a genuine desire to learn.

In her role, Izzy will support day-to-day accounting operations and contribute to the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our organization running effectively.

Izzy is currently a junior at Grand Valley State University, studying Finance and exploring a transition into Accounting. She is also an Army ROTC Cadet, balancing academics, leadership responsibilities, and military training.

Join us in welcoming Izzy to the Windquest team. We’re glad to have her with us and look forward to working together in the year ahead.

The start of a new year is a reminder that great work comes from great people, especially those willing to dig deep, push hard, and show up with intention every day. We’re proud of a team that embraces challenges, holds itself to a high standard, and puts care and effort into everything they do.

As we step into the year ahead, we’re grateful for their dedication and excited for what we’ll build together. Wishing our community a year filled with growth, momentum, and meaningful success.

Looking back on the year behind us, the Windquest team reflects on the ideas advanced, the progress made, and a continued commitment to innovation, people, and creating lasting impact.

Thank you for being part of our journey this year. Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season and a thoughtful start to the year ahead.

As we step into the holiday season, the Windquest team wants to say thank you for being part of our journey. We’re continuously inspired by the partnerships and community that make our work meaningful.

Wishing you joy, warmth, and plenty of bright moments in the season ahead.

The energy this year at the Windquest Summit was inspiring! Leaders from across industries came together to learn and connect through our theme, Peak Value. Every session was a reminder of how powerful it is when purpose-driven people gather to grow.

We were honored to host an outstanding lineup of keynote speakers who challenged and motivated us to elevate our leadership.

Big thank you to:

▪ Shawn Achor — The Happiness Advantage
▪ Michelle “Sonic” Ruehl — The Fighter Pilot Mindset
▪ Darren Woodson — Becoming a Leader
▪ Dr. James Hewitt — Transcend the Leadership Paradox
▪ John Maxwell — High Road Leadership

All of us at Windquest appreciate everyone who made this year’s Summit such an impactful experience. We look forward to continuing the conversations, growth, and momentum in our continued pursuit of peak value!

Today we celebrate our CEO Greg McNeilly’s 16th anniversary at Windquest!

Since joining in 2009, Greg has helped transform Windquest from a quiet investment firm into a bold, values-driven portfolio spanning manufacturing, retail, wellness, and craft spirits.

Under his leadership, we’ve become known for doing business the right way - investing in people, leading with integrity, and embracing challenges.

Guided by his belief that “work is the way we serve one another,” Greg leads with clarity, purpose, and humility. A devoted husband, father of three, avid reader, and global traveler, he inspires us to leave things better than we found them.

Thank you, Greg, for 16 years of impact. Here’s to what’s next!

It’s Summit Week!

We’re bringing together leaders from across the country to explore this year’s theme: Peak Value.

In a world where drift dulls ambition and noise drowns out clarity; we believe purpose is what keeps leaders anchored and advancing. When you lead with intention, growth becomes consistent. Discipline becomes liberating. Energy becomes renewable.

Summit is about growth, leadership, and reaching new heights - together. Looking forward to two great days of learning and connection!

This year’s Peak Value Summit features an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers. From a Super Bowl champion to two New York Times bestselling authors, an Air Force fighter pilot and a human performance scientist, these leaders will challenge and inspire every attendee.

▪ Shawn Achor - The Happiness Advantage
▪ Michelle “Sonic” Ruehl - The Fighter Pilot Mindset
