About Sébastien

Sales leader with over 8 years of experience in B2B SaaS, HR Tech, and agency environments, I master end-to-end sales acquisition: prospecting, negotiation, closing, and retention. Accustomed to performing in competitive environments (short, high-volume cycles as well as complex, long sales), I have maintained an average of 106% of quotas achieved, generated up to €1M in revenue per quarter, and signed strategic multi-stakeholder deals.
In parallel, I have built and managed SDR teams: recruitment, training, coaching, and performance monitoring, with a constant focus on lead quality and customer satisfaction to ensure mission renewal.
Today, I add a strategic and financial dimension: as a Business Unit Director, I manage a revenue target of €500K with an annual profit margin of 50%, ensuring growth, profitability, and operational excellence.
