Sarah Ben Allel is VP People at Qonto. She has always been passionate about the unique challenges of HR. After graduating from CELSA, she began her career with major groups such as Nestlé and L’Oréal, which she joined as Recruitment Manager for the Retail sector before becoming an HR Business Partner in the Luxury branch. Convinced by the vision and ambition of the company’s two founders, Sarah joined Qonto in 2017, shortly after its creation, as the first member of the HR team. With the company growing quickly to over 30 employees, she created Qonto’s hiring process from scratch and laid the foundations for its employer branding and employee career development strategies. These achievements helped pave the way for Qonto’s strong subsequent growth. In almost 7 years at Qonto, Sarah has built a People team of over 70 members and counting. Her department ensures that the best talents are correctly onboarded in line with the company’s mission and that more than 1,600 Qontoers enjoy the best possible working experience.
