As a teenager, David worked in a grocery store and became fascinated with how and why people buy things. Today, David answers those questions as the CEO of Doner.

David loves the extreme competitive aspect of the agency business and the thrill of helping clients win. He’s a hands-on, walk-around leader who believes creativity and accountability can coexist in harmony, details and speed matter, and bureaucracy sucks. David has overseen Doner's evolution into a thoroughly modern, data-driven and strategically led agency.

When he’s not leading Doner, David coaches tennis and serves on various boards across Detroit, including Cranbrook Kingswood Schools and MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit), and spends time with his wife and their kids Alex, Olivia, Owen and Henry.

As one of the industry’s most respected and awarded Chief Creative Officers, Colin Jeffery leads all creative efforts across the Doner enterprise. Colin is a hands-on, walk-around leader (in both the virtual and physical space), who works side by side with our creative teams and engages regularly with our clients.

Prior to joining Doner, Colin was cofounder and CCO of Wolfgang, and before that, was a longtime CCO at David&Goliath. Colin has a long list of accolades to his name. He is credited with helping KIA Motors become the fastest growing car brand in the U.S., and he brings experience across a wide range of categories, including CPG, QSR, sports, travel, gaming, alcoholic beverage, entertainment and lifestyle, as well as global experience in both Singapore and South Africa.

Every great team has the player who makes everyone else better – that’s Craig Conrad. It started when he walked onto the Miami University hockey team and it continues today every time he walks into a conference room.

Craig has led accounts in every category from automotive to healthcare to retail to packaged goods. Today, as Doner’s president, Craig touches every account and supports team members at every level. As an avid sports enthusiast, healthy competition and being a good teammate are things that get his heart pumping.

He and his wife live in Northville and are active sports parents to their two future college athletes.

Naveen is energized every day to work with the passionate team at Doner to solve clients’ business and marketing challenges.

He loves the balance of having to be ever mindful of the present, while simultaneously planning for our future. His strategic plans have contributed to the growth of several business units, while his operating plans have streamlined processes and driven efficiencies. He loves seeing a team come together to succeed beyond the potential of each individual.

A native Midwesterner, Naveen enjoys spending time with his fantastic daughter, and rooting for the Reds and Pacers. Don’t ask him about her no longer rooting for the Bengals – it’s a touchy subject.

With passion, contagious positivity and a love for efficiency, Kat continues to build on a track record of delivery excellence here at Doner. Every day her goal is to make the lives of our employees and clients easier – and happier – by creating streamlined processes for fast, flawless results.

As a proven digital thought leader, Kat is constantly driving process evolutions that are consumer-focused, data-driven and inclusive-first. She’s leveraged those skills to help steer the development and improvement of our Project Management and Content Studio departments, and to strengthen client partner services – especially in her role as the proud leader of our Johnson & Johnson consumer brands.

Kat has also played an integral role in initiating programs to help improve work-life balance at the agency. When it’s time for me time, Kat enjoys spending it hiking with her German Shepherd, Sita, and traveling to see concerts – including the band Phish which she has seen over 150 times.

Catherine has a passion for the one-on-one interactions that ignite brand attraction, drive preference and build results. It is about creating meaningful, mutually beneficial personal relationships between brands and the customers they serve.

Catherine spent years logging automotive miles running the Hertz business, globally. She also has extensive B2B/Trade experience. Other brand experience includes Philips, J&J, Pepsi, Pfizer, P&G and MCI.

When not at work, Catherine is easy to find. She is usually chasing her husband and 2 kids enough to consider it “training” for her next triathlon, plotting a carpooling course from match to meet to game, or packing a cooler for the next road trip.
