“Companies of all types must become more data-driven to effectively compete in modern markets and need complete data management platforms, like Talend Data Fabric, to quickly build, continually monitor, and easily optimize their operational data health,” said Grosse. “I look forward to working closely with Talend senior leadership and our staff around the globe to promote our world-class solutions and support our growing customer base and expanding partner ecosystem.”
