Matt Casters has been an independent BI consultant for many years and implemented numerous data warehouses and BI solutions for large companies. Inspired by his work as BI consultant, and out of frustration with existing Data integration tools, he created KETTLE. This tool was open sourced (LGPL) in December 2005 and acquired by Pentaho Open Source BI early in 2006. Matt is currently Chief Data Integration for Pentaho and lead developer for Kettle a.k.a. Pentaho Data Integration. He maintains a blog at http://www.ibridge.be/
