Rippling, an HR tech startup, is pursuing a lawsuit against competitor Deel, claiming that Deel paid an employee to spy on them. The case, which Rippling filed in Ireland, relies on an affidavit from the alleged spy that presents dramatic claims. However, servicing papers to Deel's CEO Alex Bouaziz has been challenging for Rippling, as French bailiffs cannot find him at his address in Paris. Reportedly, Bouaziz has a nomadic lifestyle and has listed different locations on platforms like LinkedIn and X, with Rippling considering email as an alternative service method.
Rippling's lawsuit alleges that Deel paid an employee to spy on them, with an affidavit detailing the alleged activity, creating a scenario reminiscent of a movie.
With French bailiffs unable to locate Deel CEO Alex Bouaziz at his Paris address, Rippling might resort to serving him via email despite his nomadic lifestyle.
Bouaziz, known to list various locations including Tel Aviv and New York, is described as highly nomadic yet remains very attached to France.
Despite the serious nature of the allegations, neither Deel, Rippling, nor Bouaziz have responded to inquiries for comment regarding the ongoing situation.
