Each day, thousands of people – people just like you – provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of generous donors, volunteers and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering, here at home and around the world. We roll up our sleeves and donate time, money and blood. We learn or teach life-saving skills so our communities can be better prepared when the need arises. We do this every day because the Red Cross is needed - every day.

Newport is a national strategic advisory firm that helps founders, owners and CEOs of growth stage companies grow and improve the value of their businesses, often in support of a capital transaction or family business succession. “We engaged Newport for assistance with developing and executing a well-planned growth agenda for our company. We needed help to achieve our full potential, and Newport brought valuable experience and perspectives to the table that we did not have internally.” CEO, Digital Marketing Company HOW WE BRING VALUE Being CEO is a tough, stressful job where you alone make the difficult, ‘bet the business’ decisions when the company is at a crossroads. Since Newport partners have founded, built, operated and sold businesses, we understand and partner with you - through our Value Acceleration Program or as a strategic advisor, fractional C-Suite executive, or board director - to make and implement those tough decisions. During our engagements address issues like: • Corporate Strategy & Positioning • Growth & Profitability • Leadership & Governance • Talent & Employee Engagement • Customer Experience • Innovation • Technology & Digital Transformation • Capital Structure, Restructure & Turnaround • Family Business Planning & Succession • Capital Transactions & Business Sale OUR UNIQUE APPROACH What’s different about Newport is that: • Each of our partners has decades of success as C-level operating executives. We’ve seen a lot, so we bring high Business IQ, innovative ideas, and proven solutions to accelerate your success. • Our clients have access not only to Newport’s 60+ partners, but also to a network of select expert resources who can help amplify your success. • Our clients appreciate that we are their ally, working side by side with them over the long-term, rolling up our sleeves and doing whatever is required to achieve outstanding results.
