Bertrand Diard

Above all a serial entrepreneur.  Always been intrigued by technology and convinced that innovation leading to technological breakthroughs can bring about changes for society; from improving daily life to generational trends.

Founded Talend with the aim of making accessing and managing data easier by bringing the technology to companies. Until the company’s IPO in July 2016, was very lucky to live this incredible human adventure, having seen it launch, grow, develop internationally, raise funds, structure its management & become one of the three French success stories to have entered the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Got involved in creating Serena Data Ventures, the first fund specialized in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, because today, data (and its use) is fuelling these major changes. Wanted to be part of this revolution!

Also President of Tech in France (professional organization for software and internet companies) and Board Chairman at BonitaSoft, CybelAngel, and iBanFirst.
