Christal Bemont has been a leader from an early age: she had to be, growing up, on a farm in Missouri, 10 years or more older than her siblings. She took casual work aged 13 cleaning houses and got her first pay cheque working at Dairy Queen, the US soft-serve ice cream chain. Prior to joining data management specialist Talend, Christal spent 15 years at SAP Concur, most recently as chief revenue officer. 

Krishna Tammana is the CTO of Talend, a cloud data integration company.

Founded in 2005, the software company provides a range of cloud apps for enterprises to collect, govern, transform and share data. Tammana joined Talend from data monitoring and analytics firm Splunk in September 2020, where he was most recently VP of engineering.
