From Data to Strategy: Marcela’s Journey with Ingram Micro and AWS

When Marcela Monteiro Gallo joined Ingram Micro Brazil, she brought with her a strong foundation in cloud and data—but what she found here was a launchpad for something much bigger. Now a Solutions Architect, Marcela’s journey is a testament to how technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a collaborative culture can accelerate professional growth.

Why Marcela Chose Ingram Micro and AWS
Marcela saw Ingram Micro as more than just a new role—it was a gateway to global impact. Already working in cloud and data, she was drawn to the scale and strategic nature of the projects, the close partnership with AWS, and the opportunity to work with major accounts. “It expanded both my technical vision and reach,” she shared.

One of the first things Marcela noticed was the culture of trust and collaboration. “From day one, I was genuinely welcomed,” she said. The openness, willingness to help, and constant exchange of knowledge created an environment where individual growth was nurtured through teamwork.

A Defining Moment
Marcela recalls a proud moment when the data engineering team she led was publicly recognized by B3—the Brazilian Stock Exchange—during the AWS Summit Brazil. Their work was highlighted as strategic, validating the technical excellence and client partnership her team had built.

Today, Marcela is part of a global initiative to produce technical content for the AWS Cloud Services Blog and collaborates with teams on proposals for clients as far as Australia. She’s surrounded by top-tier professionals, including AWS Ambassadors and Golden Jackets, making every exchange rich and inspiring.

Marcela’s career path at Ingram Micro reflects her drive and adaptability. Starting as a Data Engineer, she became Chapter Lead of the data engineering team and later transitioned into her current role as a Solutions Architect. Each step has expanded her strategic and technical perspective.
