Strategic Development Consultant

“Hydrogen is the Future!” “Let’s Roll!”

With nearly 20 years of experience across all facets of real estate development, Jamie Newell leads projects through every stage of the development process. She began her career representing engineering firms in the construction industry with project procurement during the due diligence phases prior to joining a boutique site selection firm where she began assisting industrial users with site selection and incentive negotiation consulting services. These services encompass a multitude of problem-solving capabilities such as sourcing investors, siting specific brownfield locations and greenfield sites, identifying federal grant and other incentive opportunities, sourcing contractors, architects, engineers and other consultants, and ultimately closing the deal.

Focusing on strategic growth for her clients, Jamie evaluates supply chain and logistics networks and examines other variables, project drivers, and risk mitigation factors that impact project costs and operational management. Her past clients have included domestic and global companies primarily within the advanced manufacturing, automotive (electric vehicle) and consumer goods sectors.

In her spare time, Jamie enjoys beekeeping, bird hunting with her dog, “Pax,” paddle boarding, and volunteering in her community and with her church. She is also currently supporting a missionary with the Culture Project.
