“Newport is in a league of its own when it comes to strategy, growth, and business development. It’s hard as an entrepreneur to work with consultants because we have very specific needs and can’t afford broad based engagements. Newport is unique in that they act as partners. They understand their clients’ constraints and are creative to get all parties focused on growth. They brought a wealth of contacts, strategy, and an in depth knowledge of local politics, actors, and how things actually work in this space. Their calm demeanor and voices of reason helped save the day often at times when emotions were running high. They have been an absolute joy to work with and I would not hesitate recommending them to any organization that needs C-level advisors for continued success.”
