Making an Impact: Valerie's Inspiring Journey at Dell

Valérie Viguier | Montpellier Site Program Manager | France

What brought you to Dell, and what has your journey here been like so far?
I joined Dell because of its strong commitment to innovation and social impact. My journey at Dell has been truly rewarding. I’ve had the opportunity to hold several positions, work with multicultural teams, and build strong connections. This diversity has allowed me to develop my skills and thrive in my role while also leading initiatives that make a real difference in our communities.

   

What’s the most fulfilling project or initiative you’ve led at Dell?
Organizing solidarity actions like Octobre Rose and Movember to support the Institut du Cancer de Montpellier has been deeply fulfilling. Seeing colleagues come together for a cause that matters is inspiring.

   

How does Dell’s culture enable you to champion giving and creative programs?
Dell’s culture encourages us to think beyond business and embrace our role as changemakers. The flexibility and support for employee-led initiatives make it possible to turn ideas into impactful programs.

    

Tell us about your work with local nonprofits in Montpellier—what inspired you to start these partnerships?
I wanted to create a bridge between our company and local organizations making a difference. The inspiration came from a desire to combine professional skills with community needs, amplifying impact through collaboration.

   

How do you design creative programs that turn local action into global impact?
I focus on initiatives that are scalable and relatable which start locally but resonate globally. Sharing these stories internally helps inspire similar actions worldwide.

   

What’s one moment from your community work that made you feel, ‘This is why I do this’?
During a visit to the Institut du Cancer de Montpellier as part of our partnership, I met a patient who shared how much these initiatives bring comfort and hope. That heartfelt testimony deeply moved me and reminded me that even small actions can have a tremendous human impact. That moment reminded me why small gestures can have a big emotional impact.

   

What advice would you give to others who want to create meaningful change in their communities?
Start small, listen to local needs, and build partnerships. Passion and persistence turn ideas into reality.

   

What’s one thing people might be surprised to learn about you?
I’m the go-to person for travel tips and hidden gems —whether it’s planning a trip, finding must-visit spots, recommending great restaurants, or uncovering unique local experiences. I love sharing these ideas and helping others create memorable moments.

   

If you could collaborate with any global changemaker—past or present—who would it be and why?
Meyvis Nunez for her dedication to positively impacting her local community.
