Samuel Leduc - Founder
Expertise
For 15 years, I have led international executive search firms (REED, CPL) and in-house recruitment for SMEs, Scale-ups (Qonto, Kiwi.com), and multinationals (IBM, RWS plc). My methods and convictions were forged in ultra-demanding markets where attractiveness goes beyond just a brand name or a competitive package. I have supported all types of organizations, whether in stabilization (Run) or acceleration (Scale) phases, bootstrapped or backed by investors (VC/PE).
Methodology
I help leaders define a clear and realistic vision of success for every mission. This minimizes the gap between expectations and ground reality, allowing both parties to move forward with transparency. This alignment facilitates not only the integration and impact of Talents but also their long-term management and retention. Aligning all stakeholders on core objectives transforms "jobs" into genuine opportunities. Because top talents aren't looking for a job description; they are looking for a compelling challenge and a human adventure.
Local & International Approach
I have built my career by building bridges rather than walls. Having spent 18 years abroad across Mexico, Ireland, and Central Europe, and managed teams in EMEA, the USA, Argentina, China, and Japan, I have mastered the codes of global recruitment. Based back in Nantes since 2022, I leverage this network and cross-cultural agility to serve French and international companies in their strategic recruitment, both locally and globally.
