Jean-Baptiste Larramendy’s README

About me

Hi! 🙋‍♂️ My name is Jean-Baptiste, or JB. Let’s go with JB as it’s much easier for everyone.  I’m currently GitLab’s Global Sales Development Team leader.

I have spent my entire career in sales and have specialized in Sales Development over the past 10 years. Even though I love building organizations that scale and consistently deliver results, my ultimate goal is to make as many people successful as I can.

This page is intended to give you a quick overview of who I am before we get the chance to meet.

Here’s a bit about me:

  • I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
  • I am a dual citizen: French & Canadian
  • I have 2 mostly wonderful kids and a fantastic wife
  • I have lived, studied and worked in France, Spain, Germany and now Canada
  • I love all things outdoors
  • My 2 favorite quotes are: “Take your job seriously, never take yourself seriously” & “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor”

Strengths

(Clifton Strengths assessment results)

  • Individualization: You are intrigued by the unique qualities of each person. You have a gift for figuring out how different people can work together productively.
  • Relator: You enjoy close relationships with others. You find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal
  • Arranger: You can organize, but you also have a flexibility that complements this ability. You like to determine how all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for maximum productivity.
  • Activator: You can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. You want to do things right now, rather than simply talk about them.
  • Maximizer: You focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. You seek to transform something strong into something superb.

Communicating with me

I’m pretty informal, message me on Slack, send an email, or tag me on a thread, and I’ll respond as soon as I can. It’s very important for me to know people: who they are, and what makes them tick. I love Coffee chats and connecting with people. So please reach out.

What I Assume about Others

  • Positive intent.
  • There are plenty of things I can learn from you.
  • You’ll ask for my input and help if it’s needed.
  • You have more going on than the one thing we’re discussing.
  • Everyone is likely fighting a battle we know nothing about.
