About Samuel

Experienced professional in structuring and developing IT service companies (ESN). Possessing strong organizational skills and natural leadership to guide teams towards success.

After a successful first experience in an ESN that grew from 0 to 60 consultants, I participated from the beginning in the LR Technologies venture, one of the first ESNs focused on Quality of Life at Work (QVT) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) pillars.

Starting from scratch in 2015, I structured my Business Unit around technical assistance in software and systems engineering within industrial sectors (Aerospace, Defense, Rail, Multimedia, Medical, etc.). In 2021, we surpassed the 100-consultant mark with a team of 4 Business Managers and 1 Talent Acquisition specialist.

I continued to grow my scope to 135 consultants, 7 Business Managers, and 2 Talent Acquisition specialists.

In 2022, our LR Group was sold to an investment fund, and starting January 2024, I took over as the General Manager of the LR Group: 650 consultants, 10 agencies in France, 45 sales representatives, 10 Talent Acquisition specialists, 1 HR team, and 1 accounting/finance team.

I am recognized for my ability to acquire and retain key client accounts and for supporting sales teams to achieve success. I know how to generate value within a collective and steer the company towards expected financial results.
