Doug Albrecht
Chairman

Doug Albrecht retired in 2007 as Chairman, President and Chief Executive of Centric Group, a $750 million holding company. Centric Group grew from an initial Taylor family investment in Jack Keefe Coffee Bar Sales, a two-employee business in hotel/motel in-room coffee sales. Albrecht expanded the business to include food and personal product sales to correctional facilities, eventually growing the business to a 2,000 employee nationwide network of distribution and sales centers with products ranging from Victorinox brand luggage to mylar balloons to clear-case televisions (for the prison market). Albrecht, a Minnesota native, was an All-Big 8 baseball player at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Following graduation, he spent his entire 33-year business career working for the Taylor family. Since his retirement, Albrecht is serving as Chairman of Bodley Group. He helped establish the The St. Louis Police Foundation in 2007. Recognizing the incredible demands placed upon the men and women who protect our community, the Foundation secures private support to positively impact police capabilities.
