Steve Harrison

President

Steve Harrison is CDR's President and has spent his entire three-plus-decade career in direct marketing. He brings a rich and unique set of skills to the table that has allowed him to modernize and future-proof the agency, while building amazing teams to deliver solid fundraising results every day. By engaging with care and transparency, he’s built a family culture where employees are heard and respected, and thrive as a result.
 
In his only foray to the client side, he worked for the man, the myth, the legend Ron Popeil himself, working to sell Showtime Rotisserie grills, the Pocket Fisherman, the Bedazzler, and many others. Thus, he learned DRTV from one of its pioneers.
 
Steve lives in Los Angeles with his wife Hilary and splits his time in Northern Virginia south of the CDR offices in Lanham, MD. His daughter Rachael is a graduate of University of Oregon, and his son Ethan attends Syracuse University. When he's not working, you might find him traveling, taking long walks, or listening to R&B music.

DeDi Oxenberg

Executive Vice President

DeDi Oxenberg started with CDR in 2001 as an account coordinator, then junior account executive, and continued to move up through seven roles to become the Executive Vice President of CDR. She leads the marketing operations, strategy, analytics, data, and creative teams at CDR. That includes all the training, hiring, retention, and coaching of all the team members looking to grow as she has.
 
Her family (husband of 21 years and two teenagers) have visited 49 of the 50 states and will finish them by Summer 2024. Not surprisingly, she's a big national parks fan and enjoys climbing and hiking. She wants to hike a 14er (a mountain over 14,000 feet).

John Wilkinson

Executive Vice President, Client Services

John Wilkinson is CDR’s Executive Vice President, Client Services, and has helped nonprofits grow and break new ground in their marketing programs for over 20 years. He began his career working with rescue missions across the United States, partnering to create integrated fundraising programs to connect with donors at deeper levels. He’s built enterprise-level centralized direct response marketing programs and developed offer and audience strategies for organizations including the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity.

John has been married to his wife, Kate, for 20 years and counting. They have three boys (so their house is loud). When he’s not working, he’s at the baseball or soccer field or watching the latest Star Wars or Marvel shows and movies.

Meg Dawes

Executive Vice President, Client Services

Meg Dawes is CDR's Executive Vice President of Client Services. She's been at CDR for five years, in nonprofit client services for 14 years, and working with clients for over 30 years. She has two adult daughters and just had her first granddaughter. Working with Moore is a family affair, as she has two brothers who work at Barton Cotton Graphics.

When not working, you can likely find her at an active outdoor activity. She's paraglided through the Colorado mountains and is an avid scuba diver (diving with whale sharks is on her bucket list). She's also a New York Giants and Tottenham Hotspur fan.

Bessie Thibodeaux

Vice President, Client Services

Bessie Thibodeaux is CDR’s Vice President of Client Services and has spent seven of her over 30 years in the industry with CDR. She’s the youngest of seven kids and has over 60 first cousins. She has three kids as a part of this large family: proud Aggie Dante, hockey-playing Bernadette, and six-foot-tall middle schooler Raphael. They all live in Washington, DC, and are Capitals fans but Bessie is a Texan at heart and plans to move back someday.

When she’s not working to help great nonprofit causes, you can find her reading or biking, but not both. She’s a reading omnivore, with genres from biographies to western to chick lit and more and her favorite books are Anne of Green Gables, Handling Sin, and the Bible. And her biking is no joke; she rode from Raleigh to DC for the AIDS ride.

Marni Grimm

Senior Vice President, Operations

Marni Grimm is CDR's Senior Vice President of Operations and has spent more than half of her 20+ year career in the industry with CDR. Marni is the CDRer who makes the trains run on time, managing workflow and resources to come up with the best processes for CDR so that it can better serve its nonprofit clients. She leads the production and project management teams, who both contribute to making sure CDR delivers on time for its clients. In addition to being an operations master, she's a master of reiki, the Japanese form of energy healing.

When she has a spare minute, you might find her in nature, either walking in the woods or out on the water of the Chesapeake Bay (someday, she’d like to swim with dolphins). Or you might find her art journaling at home with her two amazing teenagers and two curious cats.
