LOS ALTOS, Calif. - February 2, 2010 - Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data integration software, today announced the appointment of Thomas Tuchscherer as vice president of corporate development. Tuchscherer, an enterprise software industry veteran, will be responsible for driving strategic corporate deals to expand the Company’s indirect channel, geographic presence and product portfolio. He will also focus on creating and managing strategic partnerships, and identifying new opportunities to further accelerate Talend’s rapid growth.

“Thomas is a significant addition to Talend’s executive team,” said Bertrand Diard, CEO and co-founder of Talend. “His expertise in the enterprise software market will be integral in furthering Talend’s global corporate initiatives and extending our leadership as the innovator and visionary in the data management market.”

Tuchscherer joins Talend after successful tenures at SAP and Business Objects, which was acquired by SAP in October 2007.
