Newton Golf Company hired Jeff Clayborne as chief financial officer, effective immediately, to oversee all company financial operations, including financial planning and analysis, investor relations, capital markets strategy, accounting, and compliance.
Clayborne brings over 30 years of senior financial leadership experience across public and private companies in the consumer products, technology and entertainment sectors. Most recently, he served as chief financial officer of Perfect Moment, a performance apparel brand, where he led the company through an IPO, restructured the balance sheet and implemented operational improvements that enhanced margins and cash flow. He previously led the integration of Shopify at Sondors and implemented NetSuite at Verb Technology, providing platform expertise to scale Newton Golf’s direct-to-consumer and enterprise systems.
“Jeff is exactly the kind of business-minded, operationally focused CFO we need as we enter this next phase of growth,” said Greg Campbell, executive chairman and chief executive officer of Newton Golf, formerly Sacks Parente. “His track record of building disciplined financial organizations and driving strong margin performance is critical as we scale. Just as important, his experience with consumer brands and direct-to-consumer strategy makes him a strong cultural and strategic fit for Newton.”
“I am honored to join Newton Golf at such an exciting and pivotal time in its journey,” said Clayborne. “The company’s commitment to innovation, product excellence, and U.S.-based manufacturing sets it apart in the golf equipment market. I look forward to working with the leadership team to strengthen Newton’s financial foundation and support its growth ambitions.”
