Emma’s Recognition
Emma Westerhouse joined Calder Capital in 2025 and serves as the Executive Team Assistant, supporting the firm’s leadership team. In her role, she assists with operational initiatives, CRM and data management, client and advisor support, internal process improvements, and special projects.
Before joining Calder, Emma spent five years in construction and roofing, developing experience in project management and operations. While working at Irish Roofing & Exteriors, she witnessed the company’s sale to a private equity group, an experience that sparked her interest in mergers and acquisitions.
Her administrative and operational background also inspired her to establish Westerhouse & Co., which provides flexible support for business owners who need an extra set of hands without the commitment of a full-time employee. Emma has continued expanding her professional skills, earning a Michigan real estate license.
“Emma brings a willingness to jump in wherever she can make a difference,” stated Hannelore Jones, Director of Operations. “She brings such a positive energy to the office and makes it a more enjoyable place to be. She’s always looking for opportunities to learn, grow, and take on new challenges, both professionally and personally. We’re excited to see her recognized for the initiative and dedication she brings to everything she does!”
Outside of Calder, Emma participates in mentoring through National Women in Roofing and the National Association of Women in Construction, including mentoring circles and speaking at events. She also volunteers every Tuesday morning at the Kent County Animal Shelter, walking shelter dogs.
In her interview with Influential Women, Emma encouraged young women entering the industry to take accountability and use feedback to improve. Her advice reflects an approach centered on learning, resilience, and continued professional growth.
