Sebastien Dignard, CEO, Macnica Atlantic Region

Dignard previously served as president of Macnica Americas for two years where he led the organization through a period of growth and transformation across semiconductors, imaging, networking and advanced technologies.

Under his leadership, the company shifted from a focus on individual components to value-driven solutions, ecosystem partnerships and customer-centric execution across key vertical markets. Dignard will continue to lead the North American operations while aligning Macnica’s expertise, innovation and execution across the broader Atlantic region.

“What we have been building together over the past two years matters deeply to me,” Dignard said. “Our progress as a solutions-led organization, our momentum across key verticals and the culture we have built will continue to be foundational as we expand collaboration across the Atlantic region.”

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.

“Over the course of his career and through his contributions over the past two years at Macnica Americas, Sebastien has successfully led organizations through periods of growth and change, building strong teams, trusted partner ecosystems and differentiated solution strategies,” said Aki Miyoshi, co-CEO of Macnica. “As Macnica continues to invest in North America and the Atlantic region, his leadership, supported by our headquarters and teams across Asia, will be instrumental in scaling that momentum across the Americas and Europe, aligning regional execution with our global vision and long-term growth objectives.”
