2025 Top 40 Under 40: Kevin Doran
Kevin Doran
Kevin Doran has spent the last decade driving record-setting growth. Right now, he’s doing it as the vice president of sales at The Brody Group: which includes Brody Pennell Heating & Air Conditioning (generating around $40 million a year); Absolute Airflow Heating, Air and Plumbing (generating around $20 million); Bob Jenson Air Conditioning & Heating ($12 million dollar business); and Kahn Air Conditioning ($12 million).
Prior to this, Doran has served as the COO and the vice president of operations of Rooter Hero Plumbing — “$75 million annual revenue over two states and multiple locations,” Doran said.
He also served as the vice president of Nexgen Air Conditioning, where he also aided that business in achieving transformative growth.
“I spearheaded sales strategy at NexGen, scaling revenue and fostering winning team environments — and grew the business from $30 million to $108 million, and exited twice in separate PE transactions,” Doran said.
An executive leader for more than eight years, Doran has held high-level roles across the HVAC industry, including within the Wrench Group. At every stop, his focus has remained the same.
“My career goals are to expand, grow, and work alongside great individuals to create career opportunities and growth within the trades for the next generation,” Doran said.
Doran may have stumbled into HVAC randomly when he transitioned from the mortgage industry after the 2008 financial crash — but his track record proves he’s in the right place.
