InfoFormer Chief of Staff to Supervisor Ron Roberts

Vice President, NCG Porter Novelli.

Steve Danon, who this year joined local marketing powerhouse NCG Porter Novelli as vice president, grew up in Agoura Hills, a Los Angeles suburb in the San Fernando Valley. He slowly migrated to San Diego, stopping first at Irvine Valley Community College. He transferred to San Diego State University and graduated in 1990 with a political science degree and a communications minor.

“San Diego may be the country’s seventh largest city but it is also the world’s smallest town,” says Danon, 36. “I fell in love with it the minute I got here; this is home.” He lives in Carmel Valley with his wife, Patty, and his two retrievers, Hudson and Buddy. His favorite San Diego pastime is taking his dogs body surfing in Coronado.

Danon’s experience in government relations, community relat-ions, political campaigns, crisis communications and grassroots coalition development — all of which serve him well in his new job — was honed in numerous political positions. He has worked closely with Rep. Brian Bilbray, Supervisor Dianne Jacob, former Rep. Bill Lowery and San Diego Mayor Susan Golding. He also served as Ron Roberts’ chief of staff.

Two years ago, Danon jumped into politics with both feet, emerging as a finalist for the District 6 City Council seat later won by Councilwoman Donna Frye. Now a specialist in health care, housing, land use, transportation, environment and education issues, Danon serves as strategic counsel to a variety of Porter Novelli clients, including Chevron and Qualcomm.

Danon loves sailing and Padres games along with the various community projects he’s involved with. He serves on numerous boards and committees, including the San Diego County Taxpayers Association and the San Diego County Lincoln Club, and he is a member of the Downtown Partnership.
