Talend Gets a New CTO

October 17, 2014

For a technology-driven company, the position of CTO takes on special significance. We learn from Edubourse.com that “Talend Appoints New Chief Technology Officer and Head of R&D.” (The original article is in French; I used Google Translate.) The company is confident that Lawrence Bride’s two decades of experience make him the right pick to steer the company’s strategy into the future. The press release sums up the executive’s bona fides:

“More recently, Laurent Bride served as CTO of Axway, the market leader in the governance of data flow. Before joining Axway, he was Senior Vice President of Advanced Development division of SAP, leading a team of 350 developers to design solutions Big Data, cloud, analytics and next generation mobile. Laurent Bride arrived at SAP following the acquisition of BusinessObjects, where he spent 10 years overseeing software development. He graduated from EISTI (International School Science Information Processing).

“‘Lawrence brings extensive management expertise to development teams advanced size that aim to driver technological innovation policy of a company,’ commented Mike Tuchen, CEO of Talend. ‘Laurent is a real techie with a recognized ability to enable the visionary development of new products to meet future customer needs.’”

Founded in 2005, Talend supplies data-management and application-integration middleware to organizations of all sizes. Already a leader in Hadoop-based data management, the company boosted that standing in 2010 with its acquisition of Sopera. They cite their scalable platform, flexible architecture, and easy-to-use tools as reasons they have grown to serve more than 4,000 enterprise customers. Talend maintains offices around the world but splits its headquarters between Surenes, France, and Redwood City, California.
