Dignard said his expanded role will allow him to further connect solutions, colleagues and partners across Europe and South America, strengthening collaboration and sharing knowledge across regions.

“Many of the challenges and opportunities we see across our key verticals in North America are mirrored across the Atlantic, and together we can accelerate our component-to-solutions strategy in a more unified and impactful way by leveraging our subject matter expertise to benefit both customers and partners,” he said.
