Our People

New Harbor’s seasoned staff has deep experience in numerous industry sectors.  We are committed to offering our clients high-touch, results focused service. To achieve this, the senior team that meets with prospective clients does not magically disappear once the account is won.  In other words, you won’t show up for your first meeting only to find Josie the intern sitting across the conference room table.

All Work and No Play…You Know the Rest

At New Harbor, we believe in striking a balance between work and play.  We understand our employees have lives outside the office and encourage them to pursue their many unique interests.  This mindset creates an environment where everyone feels supported and fulfilled, which makes for happy people devoted to their work and most importantly, their clients!
