We have just announced that Nick White has joined Talend as our new Chief Financial Officer.

Nick has extensive, senior-level finance experience in start-up, medium-sized, and high profile hardware and software companies. He was most recently CFO of SpringSource, a VC-funded open-source company that grew to 160 employees, a $30M run rate and operations in 9 countries – in 27 months.  Previously, he was the CFO at Transitive Corporation, a binary translation software company, and he has also served in senior positions at NeXT Computer, California Energy and Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers).

Nick’s experience and expertise will be especially important as we will rely on him to manage strategic issues, key to our strong ambitions. With Nick on the team, we are gearing up the organization for the next stage of our growth.  As previously announced, Talend has experienced a strong first half of 2010. During this time, we increased our paying customer base by 50%, our downloads reached 10 million, and we have now almost half a million users of our open source products.

I am very happy that Nick is joining Talend and that he will be contributing to our tremendous adventure!
