Marcel Dabdoub earned his bachelor degree from Boston University with a double concentration in finance and international management.  After working as a financial analyst for a few years out of college, Marcel went back to school to earn his JD/MBA and worked as an attorney for several years time with a focus on real estate and commercial transactions before transitioning to business full-time.

Since 2008, he has been a real estate developer, financial services entrepreneur, and business consultant.  His real estate projects span a wide range of industrial, commercial and residential developments on both sides of the border, including the conversion of an industrial facility in Mexico into a multi-tenant shopping center, a retirement community in Vail with a focus on lifelong learning and cultural engagement, and over a dozen downtown redevelopments that include 8 historic renovations.  Marcel and his partners also started a car financing company and he has ownership in other local businesses.

Marcel is also committed to his community, serving as board president for the Casa Hogar Madre Conchita girls orphanage in Nogales, Mexico, founding director of the Madre Conchita Foundation (a 501(c)(3) supporting organization to benefit the orphanage), and serving on the board of the Southern Arizona Community Foundation, St. Mary’s Hospital, the Pima County Real Estate Research Council and the Catholic Tuition Support Organization.
