Talend announced it has appointed Christal Bemont, former chief revenue officer at SAP Concur, as its chief executive officer and director on the Talend Board of Directors. Mike Tuchen, who led Talend through a successful transformation over the last 6 years from a $50 million startup to a $250 million publicly-held company, is stepping down as CEO, effective immediately, and will remain on the Board of Directors. The company also announced that it has appointed Ann-Christel Graham as chief revenue officer and Jamie Kiser as chief customer officer.

Bemont brings to Talend significant expertise in leading go-to-market strategies scaling cloud businesses. She has a demonstrated track record in digital transformation, new market expansion, channel and partner collaboration, and creating operational efficiency. As chief revenue officer at SAP Concur, Bemont oversaw a business spanning a global footprint of over 90+ countries and was responsible for the development and execution of all go-to-market strategies to drive and sustain 25+% annual revenue growth.

Ann-Christel Graham, named to the newly-created position of chief revenue officer at Talend, brings nearly two decades of SaaS sales leadership experience to the company. Most recently, Graham was vice president of sales for enterprise clients at SAP Concur, responsible for managing complex, multi-million-dollar sales cycles to Fortune 1000 companies and building high-performing sales teams. In conjunction with the executive-leadership transitions, the company disclosed the hiring of new sales and marketing leadership in Europe. Muriel Raffatin recently joined as Head of EMEA Marketing, and Gareth Vincent will be joining next month as General Manager of EMEA.
