About

I recruit the Sales & AI that others miss.

Graduate of emlyon Business School, I built my expertise directly in the start-up ecosystem: at Agicap (Series B, €100M), then RPO at Dawex, Ringover and Voodoo.

I have a naturally Sales profile — and I apply the same skills to Sales and AI recruitment. Walead is built on the conviction that a specialist recruiter makes a radical difference.

Sales recruitment isn't about CVs. It's about energy, resilience and alignment with your market. My job: understand that nuance — and only present profiles who genuinely have the drive.

Reviews

What my clients say.

Walid was a real asset for Ringover. He leveraged his network to find Sales profiles that seamlessly integrated. Creative, attentive and open to feedback — I highly recommend him for Sales recruitment in France.

Bénédicte Palisse
HR Director · Ringover

I worked with Walid at Voodoo. He demonstrated all the qualities of an excellent recruiter: tenacity, resilience, emotional intelligence to close roles in his portfolio. I recommend him without hesitation.

Audrey Toussaint
Founder & CEO · True Point Advisory (ex-Voodoo)

Many gems of our sales team — Account Executives and Managers — are at Ringover thanks to Walid. Beyond his legendary responsiveness and commitment, he is a pleasure to work with.

Thomas Clotteau
VP Sales FR & UK · Ringover

Walid is proactive, with strong analytical and leadership skills. He supported us in recruiting several highly qualified people in a short period. His adaptability allowed him to perfectly succeed.

Fabrice Tocco
Co-CEO · Dawex

It was a great pleasure working with Walid. Beyond his very positive and contagious energy, he was an excellent recruiter. Both his quantitative and qualitative objectives were always more than met.
