Bertrand de WITTE – Associate Director of the Fontainebleau office


My background lets leaders know they can count on me. 

Overall, I cut my teeth in management training courses ( retailfood industryconstructioniindustry and services), then in the recruitment ( computer scienceretail,industry). 

At 34, I became sales and marketing director of a B2B industrial group serving  the entire French industry ( aeronauticsspatialdefensesecuritymedical and pharmaceuticalrailwaymechanicselectricelectronicsenergyautomobileluxurydhome automation, …). My management responsibilities covered a team of 10 employees serving 1,500 active clients per year.

As I approached my 40th birthday, feeling the need for an entrepreneurial project, the recruitment was obvious. As  headhunter I accompanied executives of the industry,  of the computer science and of the food industry. My recruitment activities focused on technical and/or management profiles in France and Belgium.

My targets: business unit managers, executives, and experts in production, R&D, QHSE, BE,  finance and accounting, HR, IT, technical sales representatives, … 

I also have expertise in executive, managerial, and operational profiles in BVP, chocolate, biscuit, ice cream, and sweet food industries (sweet foods and snacks) on an international scale. Even today, I regularly receive recruitment requests from executives.


The entrepreneurial adventure continues at Alphea Conseil and  Alphea Executive in the Paris region. What attracted me to Alphea was its entrepreneurial spirit, its high-quality network, and the fact that it matches my preferred sectors: industry, agri-food, retail, distribution, and construction. As a multi-specialist, I also bring my skills in IT and finance to the table.


Curious by nature and sociable, I enjoy helping executives, HR professionals, and managers, and enabling professionals to grow by offering them new experiences.

Historically, my education, certifications, and hobbies:

A rather unusual career path... I started my career as a baker and pastry chef. Even though I didn't have a high school diploma, I nevertheless firmly qualified : post-master's degree in management ressources humaines, Master's degree in business management, Master's degree in sociology, Bachelor's degree in social work, and a professional certificate in baking and pastry making. 

Since 2015, I have been an ambassador. RSE and as such, I support executives, associations, and SMEs in their recruitment processes and in understanding the importance of their attractiveness as employers. For example, in 2021, I joined an association - Soli Food Waste- and the ESAT local in a hypermarket, promoting products destined for disposal, thus demonstrating a commitment to a smaller environmental footprint. RSE positive, promoting inclusion and paving the way for “anti-waste”.

These three certifications enable me to work more efficiently and credibly: Prince2 (project management), SocialTalent (recruitment and headhunting) in English, and Communic’Action (CNV).
