Building Winning Teams and Lasting Partnerships

For Digna Troncoso, leadership is about much more than achieving business results. It is about helping people grow, creating an environment where teams can thrive, and working together toward a common goal. 

As Senior Manager HPE, Digna leads a team focused on delivering results for both HPE and Ingram Micro while fostering a culture built on trust, collaboration, and continuous development. 

Her passion for leadership and people development has played an important role in shaping her team's success. 

Leading a Team Built for Success 

One achievement Digna is especially proud of is her team's long-standing success. For 11 consecutive years, the team has maintained its position as the number one HPE team, a remarkable accomplishment that reflects consistent performance, dedication, and teamwork. 

"This achievement is the result of the effort, commitment, and teamwork that we demonstrate year after year while continuing to overcome new challenges." 

The team's success has earned recognition from HPE and built strong relationships with partners who value the team's professionalism, expertise, and collaborative approach. 

"Partners prefer working with us because of the way we work. That has made the difference throughout all these years." 

Leadership Through Growth and Change 

One of the most important responsibilities Digna has taken ownership of throughout her career has been rebuilding and strengthening her team during periods of change. 

Like many leaders, she has faced situations where talented employees moved to competitors, vendors, or partners for new opportunities. These moments created challenges but also opportunities to build an even stronger team. 

Working closely with Human Resources, Digna helped identify the right talent and focused on creating a supportive onboarding experience for new team members. 

"Together with the team, we support and train new associates, sharing our way of working, culture of collaboration, and commitment to results." 

For Digna, successful leadership is not simply about hiring great people. It is about helping them feel supported, connected, and empowered to succeed. 

Growing Through Leadership and Strategy 

Over the years, Digna has expanded her expertise far beyond technology itself. While the technology landscape continues to evolve, she says some of her most meaningful growth has come from developing leadership skills and creating strategies that help teams achieve ambitious goals. 

Each challenge, project, and experience has strengthened her ability to adapt, lead through change, and support business growth. 

"Every experience has contributed to my professional growth and helped me adapt to changes and business demands." 

Learning From Global Collaboration 

Working with colleagues across different countries has been another important part of Digna's journey. She believes that collaboration across markets creates opportunities to share successes, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. 

"Working with different countries is a very enriching experience because it allows us to share best practices and support each other." 

Those relationships have helped create strong networks built on trust while also demonstrating how similar challenges can be across different regions. 

Whether collaborating with colleagues or working closely with HPE, Digna sees partnership and continuous learning as key ingredients for success. 

Why Ingram Micro Stands Out 

Before joining Ingram Micro, Digna worked for other distributors and gained valuable industry experience. 

Those experiences gave her a unique perspective on what makes Ingram Micro different. She was drawn to the company's reputation, stability, and opportunities for professional development. 

"From the beginning, I felt it was a place where I could grow, contribute value, and build a long-term career." 

Today, those same qualities continue to make Ingram Micro a place where people can develop meaningful careers while contributing to business success. 

Advice for Future Associates 

When asked what helps people succeed at Ingram Micro, Digna points to qualities that go beyond technical expertise. 

For her, attitude, curiosity, and a willingness to learn are what truly make the difference. 

"Most knowledge and skills can be acquired over time. What matters most is the motivation, commitment, and willingness to keep learning and developing." 

She also recommends Ingram Micro to anyone looking for a place where they can grow professionally and feel supported by those around them. 

"We've built more than a work team. We are united by trust, commitment, and mutual support. We face challenges together, celebrate successes together, and have created an environment that feels like family." 

Working with HPE at Ingram Micro 

When reflecting on what she enjoys most about working with HPE, Digna highlights the people and the company's commitment to innovation. 

"What I enjoy most about working with HPE at Ingram Micro is the quality of its people and its ability to stay at the forefront of the industry, continuously driving innovation and technological development." 

For Digna, that combination of innovation, partnership, and teamwork continues to inspire her every day.
