Newport Board Group partner Irene Helsinger has been selected as one of Houston’s 50 Most Influential Women of 2012 by Houston Woman magazine.

Newport continues to work closely with our affiliate, Evolution Capital Partners, a private equity firm with a distinctive approach of targeting companies that have as little as $.5 million in EBITDA. Evolution recently announced the acquisition of Lewellyn Technologies, an innovative leader in arc flash hazard risk analysis and mitigation. To date Lewellyn has improved the safety of thousands of companies, including many leading manufacturers. Newport Partner Kim Denney, who has held senior safety compliance positions with major global industrial firms, played a key role in the successful acquisition. She will work closely with Evolution and Lewellyn as an operating partner. Newport intends to play a similar role with other middle market private equity firms. Our partners advise on deals and then, after the deal closes, serve as a Board Member and CEO Advisor--to help execute the private equity firm’s strategy for the new portfolio company and monitor their investment.

Recent growth has seen Newport Board Group take important steps to become the leading national advisory firm that helps emerging growth companies get across No Man’s Land. Launched less than a year ago, Newport is now a national professional services firm with partners in 14 U.S. cities. In 10 cities we have practices led by a Managing Director. Recently added practices include those in Charlotte and Central Texas. Led by experienced global executive Tomas Barrett, the latter practice is also targeting the growing international market that extends from the U.S. to Central and South America, as well as other international markets.
