Different disciplines.
One shared ambition.

Different responsibilities. One commitment: building a Caribbean house with the character and foundations to reach the world.

The people building the house.
Built with conviction.

Founder & Chairman

Ricardo Méndez M

Connecting products with markets.

Ricardo chairs D&R Isleños Group. His concern is the long view of the house — what the Isleños name should stand for, and what a new expression has to be worth before it carries it.

He works closely with the people who build the brands and with the partners who take them to market. He sees the role as protecting the character of the house rather than directing its detail.

Founder & Board Member · Director of Partnerships

Angelina B.

Building the relationships that expand what is possible.

Angelina sits on the board of D&R Isleños Group and leads the development of its strategic, institutional and commercial partnerships.

Her work is finding the people and organisations with whom the group can build something worth building — across the brands, across trade, and across the hospitality chapters still ahead.

She opens the international relationships through which Isleños enters new conversations, new markets and new areas of development.

Director of Commercial Development

Jorge Pascual

Giving every expression its own voice.

Jorge Pascual develops the group's commercial relationships across international markets.

His work is building the relationships that make trade possible — buyers, suppliers, importers and distributors — and judging which sourcing and cross-border opportunities are worth pursuing.

He connects the Isleños portfolio, and the requirements partners bring to the house, with the commercial relationships needed to move them forward.

A house is built through decisions.

Direction before expansion

We do not pursue every available opportunity. We consider whether it has a clear purpose, credible foundations and a meaningful place within the group.

Expertise close to the work

The people making decisions should understand the product, market or relationship involved. We value knowledge, responsibility and direct involvement.

Different voices, shared standards

Each member of the team brings a different perspective. Our responsibility is to turn those perspectives into decisions that strengthen the whole house.

Clarity in every relationship

Strong partnerships depend on clear expectations, defined responsibilities and mutual value. We approach internal and external relationships with the same standard.

Reputation belongs to everyone

Every product, conversation and commitment contributes to how the Isleños name is understood. Protecting that reputation is a shared responsibility.

Built by a team.
Strengthened by a network.

D&R Isleños Group is not built by its leadership alone. Our work brings us together with producers, artisans, product specialists, designers, commercial advisers, logistics professionals, distributors and future hospitality partners.

Their expertise gives each project the knowledge and capabilities it requires. We believe the strongest ventures are built when the right people understand the vision, know their responsibility and bring genuine value to the work.

One house.
Many responsibilities.

The Chief Executive Officer establishes direction.
