Managing Director and Partner @Newport Llc

Houston, TX, US

Newport is a unique national business advisory firm that offers experience-based, client-centric solutions that help CEOs and owners of middle market companies grow, de-risk, and realize their company’s value. I’m bilingual in business – translating the language of Engineering to Leadership (and vice versa) to help organizations thrive. As an experienced board member, I also assure Board effectiveness by guiding board formation, establishing board rhythm, dealing with crises as well as opportunity, and through bold directorship. I apply my business acumen to assist business owners, families, CEOs, and Presidents by focusing my efforts and theirs on strategic leadership, team, financial, process, and personnel development; providing customized responses based on the needs of the business and its leaders. Preparation for and execution of a successful business sale is often a key focus. As Managing Director for the Texas practice, I also work to assure the success of the organization and my local partners.
