Meet the Ripplers: Daniel Boudjakdji

What is it like working in Rippling's Dublin office?

The pace here is genuinely different from anywhere I've worked. What surprised me most is how much ownership you get from day one; nobody's waiting for permission to move fast and the activity you have here will make a massive impact for the region.

How did you know Rippling was the right move?

When I was given the trust to launch Iberia from scratch, and heard the vision our Head of EMEA had for the region, it was clear we weren't just growing, we were building something special.

How fast can you grow your career at Rippling?

I set the GTM strategy for how my team approaches France and Iberia, messaging, sequencing, targeting, without someone rewriting my playbook for me. That trust means I can react to what's actually working in the market instead of following a script built for a different region. I just feel like the CEO of my own company.

I came in as an experienced sales leader, but managing a team through this stage of hypergrowth has sharpened how I think about scaling, structuring, and building processes that hold up as the team doubles. It's a different muscle than anything I built at my previous companies.

Out of office

I've been training in martial arts for 26 years, it's woven into who I am at this point. Honestly the lessons from the mats show up in how I lead just as much as anything I've learned in sales. Discipline, composure under pressure, knowing when to push and when to listen. Best mental reset I know after an intense week. I am also a big foodie and love trying new restaurants.
