Sabrina Avila
Chief Operations Officer
Sabrina Avila has been an integral part of Complete Outdoor Development, LLC. since its founding in 2017, having already built a close working relationship with the Navarro family since 2013. Over the years, she has become known as the heart of the company and is affectionately referred to as “The Business Mom.”
With a broad and diverse background in business management, accounting, HR, advertising, marketing, and construction, Sabrina oversees the company’s operations and finances. She played a foundational role in building Complete Outdoor Development from the ground up—transforming it from a zero-capital startup into a thriving multimillion-dollar company.
Beyond her role at Complete Outdoor Development, Sabrina is also the founder of Brand Panacea Enterprise, LLC., a consulting firm she launched in 2002 to help start-ups and small businesses succeed—especially those with limited budgets. Her passion for empowering underserved communities is deeply rooted in her early career experiences.
Before launching her own agency, Sabrina worked in the insurance industry, where she supported Jesse and Peggy Lujan in growing their homeowners insurance portfolio. Her close work with real estate agents and mortgage professionals led her to earn her real estate license, which she used to help countless Latino families purchase homes and make wise financial decisions. Sabrina frequently hosted seminars across the South, West, and East sides of San Antonio to educate these families about home ownership and life insurance—areas she calls “the most underserved” and where “no one else dared to invest their time”—but Sabrina did.
In 1999, Sabrina transitioned into marketing by joining Bromley Communications in the Media Buying & Planning department. Her passion for advertising and branding flourished there. After the 9/11 crisis in 2001 led to downsizing, Sabrina was recruited by The Cartel, a growing advertising agency, where she served as Director of Operations, helping scale the company from 10 to 100 employees.
In 2002, she launched Brand Panacea, applying her extensive knowledge to help small businesses with strategy, branding, and operational growth. Under her leadership, Brand Panacea is well-positioned for continued success, executing a strategic growth plan while supporting clients today and preparing them for the future.
When she’s not working, Sabrina cherishes time with her family and enjoys traveling.
