Macarena Cardozo, Compliance Manager

I was born and raised in Argentina and began my journey in the United States at Industrial Packaging. It was my first workplace here, and I’ve been proud to grow with the company ever since. While at work, I enjoy strengthening our food safety programs, improving compliance systems, and supporting our team to make sure we deliver safe, quality products every day. Outside of work, I’m a lifelong soccer fan and value teamwork both on and off the field.
