our reputation

As the Board’s Search Committee, we were extremely pleased with the professionalism of David Newlin’s approach to our search for a new CEO. Before we ever looked at a candidate, we knew we had the right recruiting firm in Newlin Associates because David identified the needed skills and a path for success with his unique Performance Success Profile. Also, David’s insights into the industry helped us identify candidates with the skills to be successful for the future of the wine industry, not the past. David was thorough in understanding our needs, then in defining the opportunity for candidates with specific, measurable goals for each position. David is a natural communicator and an extremely thorough mediator and enabler.  David developed a meticulous plan, executed the search, found and developed a number of qualified candidates and throughout the search process and beyond, acted as an excellent ambassador for both our company and the candidates.
— Colby Rollins & Avi Neikrug, Board Members & CEO Selection Committee, Crimson Wine Group
David brings a level of professionalism and commitment to the process that is hard to find in a service provider. The Newlin Associates approach is meticulous. Client needs are deeply researched and scrupulously documented. Candidates are carefully screened, psychologically tested for fit and thoroughly back-ground validated. In the arena of executive search, David represents the high tide mark.
— John Grant, CEO, Cline Cellars / Jacuzzi Family Vineyards
There are many traditional search companies in the wine industry but Newlin Associates is different. David seeks to understand the hiring company’s culture and business needs and then by using an array of modern processes and tools, he identifies candidates who ‘fit’ the job and culture. I’ve seen Newlin Associates evolution over many years. They stay ahead of their search rivals by adopting techniques not used by other wine industry search firms. What is really impressive is the way in which David works tirelessly to understand his clients’ needs and then finds senior level executives who have the skills, experience and character needed to excel in the role.
— Mike Holden, former Chief Sales Officer at Groth Vineyards and former SVP of Sales at Huneeus Vintners
David went above and beyond expectations to find exceptionally qualified people who fit seamlessly into our culture for two high level, mission critical roles. David’s detailed written candidate previews came to life in face to face interviews, giving us the confidence that his search and screening were both careful and attuned to our needs. His communication was timely, descriptions of candidates complete and insightful, and his sense for employee/hiring organization fit accurate. Both executives’ performance have been excellent — they’re exceeding expectations. It’s a real a tribute to the work David put in to bring them to the team. We couldn’t have done it without him and we will look to Newlin Associates for future needs, without question.
— Scott Rodde, President, Peter Michael Winery
Newlin Associates brings an excellent approach to executive recruiting, one that I feel is critical to identifying the right fit. Even before we formally began the search process, I knew we were working with the right recruiter. David’s approach to identifying the correct balance of skills and culture fit provided the perfect match for our company. Focused, organized and very detail oriented, David is a treasured asset to any company that chooses to engage. He has remained a trusted advisor for our company and we’ll surely use David and his team if we are ever in need of a candidate search in the future.
— Olav Goelet, Owner & Chairman of the Board, Clos Du Val
