Professional Journey

Navarro graduated from Presbyterian College in 1999. He built his early career at Amer Sports, the sporting-goods group behind Salomon, Arc’teryx, Atomic, Suunto and Wilson, holding a series of widening executive roles. By the end he was Vice President of Sales for North America and sat on the company’s senior leadership team.

He then moved to Stanley, the drinkware brand owned by PMI. In November 2023 Retail Dive named him senior vice president of global commerce. He was describing the brand’s sudden rise: Quencher sales up 275% on the year, and Stanley, he said, “firmly planted” as the leading drinkware brand in North America. He credited affiliate marketing and TikTok, where the brand’s tumbler hashtag had drawn hundreds of millions of views. Terence Reilly was Stanley’s global president at that point.

Navarro later became Global President of PMI WW Brands, LLC, the title used by Presbyterian College in January 2026, by his Shoptalk speaker profile and by the National Retail Federation in June 2026. The public record read for this profile does not give the date. In the role he oversees Stanley’s strategy, operations and partnerships in North America and abroad. The college says these include partnerships with Target, REI and Scheels, and puts Stanley’s annual sales at about $70 million in 2019 and an estimated $750 million by 2023. In interviews he describes the change as tying a water bottle to fashion and lifestyle. He says 2020 was the turning point, when the company saw “even more potential for the brand,” and calls what followed four years of building momentum, not a single viral moment.
