Bringing People Together

When Courtney Grosjean first joined Ingram Micro, her goal was simple: find a place where she could continue developing personally and professionally. 

What stood out to her was the variety of opportunities available within the organization. 

"I was looking for a job where I could grow and develop myself. I liked that Ingram Micro offered a variety of roles and opportunities." 

Almost nine years later, that opportunity for growth continues to be one of the reasons she loves coming to work every day. 

No Two Days Are the Same 

As a Marketing Client Service Manager, Courtney's role extends far beyond executing marketing plans. 

On any given day, she could be coordinating event logistics, collaborating with sales teams, working with accounting, supporting vendor initiatives, or helping execute partner programs. 

"My job is executing the marketing plan, but it is so much more." 

The variety keeps the work engaging and allows her to connect with people across nearly every function of the business. 

From leadership teams and vendors to technical specialists and partners, Courtney enjoys being at the center of collaboration. 

It's a role that gives her a unique perspective on how different teams work together to create successful outcomes. 

Turning Events Into Meaningful Experiences 

When Courtney thinks about the moments she's most proud of, one type of project immediately comes to mind: partner events. 

Recently, she played a key role in organizing and delivering a partner event in Buffalo, bringing together partners, vendors, sales teams, technical experts, and leadership. 

Event execution requires significant planning, coordination, and teamwork, but for Courtney, seeing it all come together is incredibly rewarding. 

"This past event was rewarding from kickoff to finish, and I was able to get very involved throughout the process." 

What makes these experiences especially meaningful is the opportunity to create connections. 

She enjoys bringing different groups together, facilitating conversations, and creating memorable experiences for everyone involved. 

And when the feedback arrives afterward, that's when the hard work truly feels worth it. 

"That feeling of bringing everyone together and hearing positive feedback motivates me to do it again." 

Even events that present challenges become valuable learning opportunities that help strengthen future programs. 

Growing Through the Support of Others 

Over the years, Courtney credits much of her professional development to the people who have supported her journey. 

"I've been fortunate to have managers who genuinely care and want to help me grow." 

Through regular development conversations, her leaders have worked closely with her to identify opportunities, develop skills, and create a path for long-term growth. 

The guidance she has received has played an important role in helping her build confidence and continue advancing her career. 

For Courtney, growth has never been a solo journey. It's been built through mentorship, encouragement, and a network of people invested in her success. 

A Culture That Lifts People Up 

When describing Ingram Micro's culture, Courtney immediately focuses on the people. 

She credits both the Marketing organization and HPE Business Unit as some of the most supportive teams she has ever worked with. 

"Everyone is willing to help." 

She describes colleagues as enthusiastic, encouraging, and always ready to celebrate one another's successes. 

That positive environment creates a strong sense of motivation and makes it easier to achieve ambitious goals. 

Equally important is the company's commitment to work-life balance. 

"My leadership team has always supported work-life balance, and that means a lot." 

For Courtney, having leaders who understand the importance of balancing professional success with personal well-being has made a significant difference throughout her career. 

The People Make the Difference
