Marcel Navarro
Principal
Marcel is a Managing Partner at MMG Equity Partners, a privately-owned investment company focused on the long-term ownership, development, and acquisition of commercial properties in Florida, as well as investments in other asset classes.
MMG’s roots lie in retail, with each person on our executive team having been instrumental in the growth and management of a successful $350 million drugstore chain. Having been on the retailer’s side of the table for many years allows us to fully understand the needs of a retailer. Each of our projects is looked at to ensure that it meets needs of both the retailers and the landlord. MMG’s entire management team is born and raised in South Florida, allowing us to intimately know the market and the communities within it. As a result, our portfolio is currently concentrated in South Florida retail. In his current role at MMG, Marcel is responsible for all financial matters of the company including acquisitions, underwriting, partnerships, accounting, tax, and financing. Prior to MMG, Marcel was Chief Financial Officer of both Navarro Discount Pharmacies and of FDC Vitamins, up until the sale of each to CVS Health and Vitamin Shoppe. Marcel is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with an accounting degree from Florida International University and an MBA from the University of Miami. Marcel serves on the Board of Directors of the FIU Foundation, where he serves as chair of the Investment subcommittee as well as the chair of the Board of Trustees for Palmer Trinity School. He is married with three children.
