GUILLAUME LARRONDE

With over 20 years of global B2B and SaaS sales experience, I specialize in designing and delivering sales enablement strategies that drive performance across enterprise and high-growth environments. My career has spanned launching new markets, establishing onboarding programs, and leading cross-functional collaboration among sales, marketing, and customer success teams.

I’m particularly passionate about digital and social selling—from leveraging data-driven insights to integrating platforms like LinkedIn into a company’s overall go-to-market approach. Throughout my journey, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and upskilling sales professionals at all levels, honing their skills in prospecting, relationship-building, and closing complex enterprise deals.

CEO - Helping B2B sales teams and leaders WIN more businesses with social selling

We hadn’t spoken for almost 10 years.

And yet, it felt completely natural to catch up.

Philippe Sauvan was my client at Alshaya.
I was working at LinkedIn.
He was one of the first to truly understand the potential of LinkedIn for executive recruitment.
Client.
Then champion.
Then mentor/friend.

What I appreciate about him?

The competence, of course.
The experience, naturally.
But above all, the kindness.

That rare quality in leaders:
Wanting you to succeed, with no hidden agenda.

Our conversation reminded me of two essential things.

First.
Your personal brand matters more than the logo on your business card.
At some point, the company’s brand equity is no longer enough.
What remains is your reputation.

Second.
LinkedIn isn’t just a business tool.
It’s a relationship continuity tool.
We hadn’t truly lost touch.
We had followed each other. Read each other. Encouraged each other.

Real relationships don’t disappear.
They simply wait to be reactivated.

Have you ever reconnected with someone after years… and felt as if nothing had changed?

✨ Ramadan Kareem to all who are observing.

Living and working in Dubai for over a decade has taught me something important.

Ramadan is not only about fasting.
It’s about intention.

A reset.
A pause.
A reminder to be more disciplined, more patient, more generous.

In business, we often move fast.
Targets. Deadlines. Execution.

Ramadan quietly invites a different rhythm.
Less noise.
More reflection.

And for leaders, that matters.

Clarity improves when we slow down.
Relationships deepen when we listen.
Perspective sharpens when we step back.

Whatever this month represents for you, I hope it brings calm, focus, and meaningful moments with the people who matter.

Les grandes fortunes bougent. Et ce n’est plus marginal.

Le Billionaire Ambitions Report 2025 d’UBS met des chiffres sur une tendance qui s’accélère.

36% des milliardaires interrogés ont déjà déménagé au moins une fois.
9% envisagent de le faire.

Ce qui frappe surtout : les plus jeunes bougent davantage.

Les 3 moteurs principaux sont très clairs :
1. Meilleure qualité de vie (36%)
2. Préoccupations géopolitiques (36%)
3. Organisation fiscale plus efficace (35%)

UBS observe aussi une attraction croissante de richesse dans certains hubs internationaux :

Émirats arabes unis.
Singapour.
Suisse.
Royaume-Uni.
États-Unis.

Autre signal fort : la “grande transmission” s’accélère.
UBS estime qu’au moins 5,9 trillions USD seront hérités dans les 15 prochaines années.
Et la France figure parmi les marchés clés en Europe.

Côté Émirats 🇦🇪 :
UBS observe une hausse de la richesse des milliardaires aux UAE à 168,7 milliards USD (+21,6%).

La vraie question n’est pas seulement “où s’installer ?”
C’est : comment structurer famille, gouvernance et patrimoine dans un monde multi-juridictionnel.

J’ai joint le rapport UBS complet en PDF à ce post pour ceux qui veulent aller au-delà des titres.

UBS - Billionaire Migration / Ambition Report 2025

Je suis entrepreneur franco-libanais et Chief Sales Officer chez Seven, avec plus de 20 ans d’expérience dans le luxe, le conseil et la tech. Toute ma carrière je me suis concentré sur un aspect central: transformer les connexions émotionnelles en leviers de performance durable.

J’ai créé des entreprises, lancé des initiatives collectives dans plusieurs pays et développé des méthodes comme les Intentions Emotionnelles™, qui aident dirigeants et leurs équipes à doubler leur pipeline, augmenter les ventes de plus de 30 % et transformer la culture d’entreprise. D’Hermès à Microsoft en passant par des sociétés de taille plus réduite, les vrais moteurs de croissance sont l’engagement et l’alignement.

Au-delà de la fonction commerciale, je m’épanouis à l’intersection de la stratégie et de l’humain. J’aime créer des espaces où les leaders tombent les masques, où les échanges deviennent sincères et où les décisions retrouvent du sens. Je suis passionné par le coaching, le storytelling et par l’idée que la performance ne se limite pas aux chiffres, mais qu’elle dépend toujours et avant tout des êtres humains.

I’m a French-Lebanese entrepreneur and Chief Sales Officer at Seven, with more than 20 years across luxury retail, consulting, and technology. My career has been about one thing: transforming emotional connections into sustainable performance.

I’ve founded companies, co-created global communities, and built frameworks like Emotional Intentions™ that help leaders and teams double pipelines, lift sales by 30%+, and reshape company cultures. Whether working with Hermès, Microsoft, or smaller companies, engagement and alignment are the real drivers of growth.

Beyond sales leadership, I thrive at the intersection of strategy and humanity. I love building spaces where leaders take off their masks, where conversations get real, and where decisions regain meaning. I’m passionate about coaching, storytelling, and making sure that performance is never just about numbers, but about people.
