Meet Carlos Tapia, SharePoint systems analyst at The Wonderful Company. Born in Mexico, Carlos moved to the U.S. when he was 4 years old. His love for technology began when his mother bought him his first desktop computer, which he learned how to fix if it broke. After gaining experience working for tech companies and a global accounting firm, Carlos brought his passion and problem-solving skills to Wonderful, where he has seen tremendous growth in the IT department. He even had the opportunity to travel to Aspen, Colorado, and Spain to work behind the scenes, ensuring smooth operations for executive conferences with our founders. Outside of work, Carlos creates costumes for cosplayers and builds miniature figurines with his 3D printer. He was even commissioned by BattleFront, a miniature gaming developer, to paint their World War II miniatures. Thank you for everything you do, Carlos! #WeAreWonderful 💚

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! From California's Central Valley and Los Angeles to Texas, New Jersey, and even internationally in Mexico, Spain, and beyond – our Hispanic and Latino employees proudly represent more than half of our company’s workforce. To celebrate our hand sorters at Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds, our co-founder, Lynda Resnick, invited Central Valley artist Jennifer Williams-Cordova to meet with each hand sorter to create a one-of-a-kind mural. The 25-foot canvas is filled with vibrant, stylized imagery personalized to them and can be found in Packing Room 18 at our plant in Lost Hills, CA.
