Kelly Ann Winget

Founder & Managing Partner, Alternative Wealth Partners

Kelly Ann Winget is a capital strategist, private equity fund manager, and entrepreneur who has spent more than a decade expanding access to institutional-grade alternative investments. As Founder and Managing Partner of Alternative Wealth Partners (AWP), a Dallas-based private equity firm launched in 2020, she has helped raise nearly $1 billion in private capital across energy, infrastructure, U.S. manufacturing, and supply chain sectors — industries that mainstream finance tends to overlook but that offer strong long-term growth potential.

Winget founded AWP on the conviction that private wealth management has long been too siloed, and the firm is evolving into an integrated platform serving founders, family offices, and next-generation investors who need coordinated strategies across investments, tax planning, and long-term capital stewardship.

She is the author of Pitch the Bitch: Grab Your Financial Future by the Bags and a sought-after speaker on private markets and financial education. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Kiplinger, Worth, and Business Insider. Recent recognition includes Inc.’s 2026 Female Founders 500, 100 Women to KNOW in America (2025), two-time D CEO 500 honoree, and the Dallas Business Journal Leadership in Diversity Award (2024).
