ABOUT NEWFIELDS
Newfields was established in 2020 by seasoned professionals in management consulting, direct investment and the business development sectors.
Newfields’ directors, having lived in Dubai since the early-to-mid 2000’s, and been directly involved in more than 1,000 projects and assignments globally, foresaw an opportunity for their proprietary group to deliver world-class advice and consulting services to third-parties to assist clients in planning, growing and developing their businesses and prospects as the world navigates through its most uncertain era of
modern times.
Newfields also has its own proprietary holdings management division, meaning group holding companies we manage can engage select proprietary opportunities for the group.
