The world is getting smaller, and AI and automation are making it easier than ever to connect. In my experience, clients need people who understand their business, their industry and their culture. Candidates need a project, a team and an environment that fit their skills, ambitions and priorities.
At iTrust, we bring that human understanding to everything we do. In a world that keeps moving faster, we take the time to get to know both sides—what the client wants to achieve and what the candidate wants from their next opportunity. That’s how we help clients build teams they can trust and candidates make their next move with confidence.
Benoit supports consulting firms and end clients in France with their local and international SAP and IT staffing needs. At iTrust, his focus is on building trusted relationships with clients and consultants, combining a consultative approach with a personal commitment to understanding what matters to each of them.
Benoit began his career in SAP recruitment in 2007, bringing nearly twenty years of experience to his role. During more than fifteen years at RED Global, he held senior positions in strategic account management, international delivery and practice leadership, most recently as Practice Director France. His experience includes managing key accounts across EMEA and APJ and partnering with CIOs, CTOs and senior IT leaders on recruitment strategies for complex transformation programmes. He has also set up an offshore delivery centre and built a new market desk from the ground up.
SAP remains his core specialism, with staffing and delivery experience spanning greenfield and brownfield programmes, rollouts, run and support, advisory, transformation and training. His background also includes executive search and recruitment across ServiceNow, Salesforce, cloud, data, infrastructure and cybersecurity. He has particular experience in life sciences, including pharma, medtech and healthcare, and understands the validation and compliance constraints that shape these environments.
Benoit places equal importance on the client’s business, culture and project requirements and the consultant’s skills, ambitions and priorities. He takes a tailored approach to each assignment and stays close to both parties from the first conversation through to the end of the engagement. For him, lasting partnerships grow from that combination of understanding, quality and personal support.
Benoit divides his time between Cornwall and France. Family is central to his life, and he values good conversations, time with loved ones and building real connections. For him, taking the time to get to know people matters just as much in everyday life as it does in business.
