Léo, an Audencia graduate, is today sales director at the unicorn Doctolib. He reveals his academic and professional career to us, and looks back on his missions within one of the best-known startups in France, but also internationally.
From Audencia to Doctolib: Léo’s journey
Léo joined Audencia after his prep class. Once at school, he decided to immediately get involved in community life, a relevant decision since this activity can often be highlighted on the CV, once he enters working life. He has in fact taken charge of the Audencia Sports Office. He also completed a double degree in law with the University of Nantes.
Léo explains that his secret which allowed him to reach Doctolib was to have taken advantage of all the opportunities offered by business schools. In particular, he has completed numerous internships, including one in Wales. During his studies at Audencia, he also had professional experience within Mazars and another at Roland Garros, with the sales teams. He also completed an internship in a startup. These experiences allowed him to build the CV that opened the doors to Doctolib for him. But above all, they allowed him to realize that he wanted to work in a more agile world and in a startup.
He therefore decided to specialize in entrepreneurship in his final year. His last twelve months at school were rich in experiences, since he completed a fixed-term contract at Roland Garros and a university exchange in the United States, in Boston. He then completed his end-of-study internship at Doctolib. UltimatelyLéo advises seizing the opportunities offered by business schools and not hesitating to get started.
Working at Doctolib
Doctolib is a startup that has evolved a lot in recent years. As Léo explains, when he arrived within the structure in 2017, there were only 180 employees. Today, there are 2,600 employees who work for the largest medical appointment booking platform. Doctolib went from 15,000 customers to 160,000 and this is hyper-growth “ which fascinates and animates » Leo on a daily basis.
The advantage of a fast-growing startup is also the development prospects offered to employees. “ I had the chance to evolve every twelve months and, today, I am the right arm of the France director, Head of Sales Excellence. I manage a team of 14 people and, indirectly, 600 salespeople throughout France », explains Léo.
