I’m Leo Carella — born in France, driven by people.
Former pro athlete turned business builder, I thrive on challenge, connection, and getting things done.
Sales, strategy, and human energy — this is where I shine.
I’m currently looking for a role that will allow me to grow professionally while securing a sponsorship — and make my dream of building a long-term life in Australia a reality. 🇦🇺
Here’s a closer look at who I am, what I do, and why I never show up halfway.
🛤️ My Story
I was born in Pau, in the southwest of France — a region where values like resilience, humility, and loyalty aren’t just taught — they’re lived. In my family, rugby wasn’t just a sport, it was tradition. From age 14, I followed a dual path: elite rugby training and academic education. That rhythm taught me excellence, balance, and a deep respect for effort.
After years of pushing myself, falling, getting back up, and pushing again, I made it: I played professionally for Biarritz Olympique. Beyond physical performance, rugby shaped my mindset — to stay calm under pressure, lead with discipline, and work as a team no matter the stakes.
But I’ve always known I had more to offer than strength on the field. That’s why I pursued a business degree at KEDGE Business School, where I explored strategy, communication, and leadership — and learned to think beyond systems and lead with both head and heart.
Then came a turning point: Australia. I signed with the Western Sydney Two Blues, thinking it would be a rugby chapter — but it became a life shift. Arriving at a moment of personal transition, I found not just a team, but a culture that gave me space to grow.
Since then, I’ve focused on becoming a better version of myself — through business development, sales, and meaningful connection. I’ve found the same adrenaline I once felt on the field — now in helping people, solving problems, and building trust.
Today, I’m building a life with purpose.
I’m looking to join a company where I can grow, contribute long-term, and bring the values that brought me this far: grit, integrity, and heart.
Because whether it’s rugby, sales, or life itself —
I show up fully. I give my all.
