Maricel Aguilar, Island Pacific's Director of R&D, has worked in several large multinational companies and according to her, "What makes Island Pacific stand apart from the rest is that it's a company that puts people first! When I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, the company took care of me above and beyond my expectations. Not only did they keep me on the payroll with full pay and benefits for almost a year but after I recovered, they even built me a commercial home kitchen that enabled me to work from home."
