Domenica Obando
Domenica Obando is the Peruvian founder and CEO of Talently, a Latin American tech talent marketplace that vets, trains, and places software engineers and data scientists into roles at companies across the US and LATAM. After stints in an NGO, the public sector, and an English-learning startup called Andi, she pivoted into Talently when she noticed her customers were really developers chasing international jobs. Talently has connected thousands of engineers with hundreds of companies including PayPal, Walmart, Nubank, Mercado Libre and Rappi, and raised seed funding backed by 500 Startups and IDB Lab (BID Lab).
Nicolas Meunier
Nicolas Meunier is the Founder and CEO of talent.io, a Paris-based reverse recruitment platform that flips the traditional hiring model on its head - instead of candidates chasing companies, vetted tech companies apply to pre-screened software engineers. A Stanford-trained computer scientist and Ecole Polytechnique alumnus, Meunier co-founded talent.io in 2015 after previously co-founding CruiseWise (acquired by TripAdvisor) and working as a senior software engineer at Cruise Critic. Under his leadership, talent.io has grown to serve 2,000+ tech companies and 150,000+ developers across 8+ European cities, raising $11M in funding from top investors including Alven Capital and Ventech.
