Executive Search

Athlete's Mantra

Recruitment is a form of marriage: a compatibility of DNA, values, and perfect alignment with the mission.

Hippolyte has accumulated more than twenty years of experience as an entrepreneur in human resources consulting. Passionate about horse riding, and after completing a veterinary preparatory program, he went on to study at ISG and began his career in the equestrian world. After a brief experience in a recruitment firm, he founded in 2005 an HR consulting and direct-approach recruitment firm dedicated to supporting executives and top managers.

Working mainly on executive roles across a wide range of sectors—industry, retail, agri-food, services, and more—he strengthened his expertise in 2021 by acquiring a firm specialized in recruitment for the high-end hospitality and restaurant sector.

In 2025, he joined Grant Alexander’s Executive Search division as Managing Partner.
