"Nala was born from the shared experiences of our founders working in multinational companies, where HR teams were bogged down by manual tasks, inefficient processes, and little strategic impact on the business. Existing solutions were difficult to implement, expensive, and unfriendly for users. Managers avoided them, reports were still created manually, and while these systems served as data repositories, they provided no real insights or analytics for effective talent management decision-making." "We experienced the pain firsthand—tedious manual tasks before important strategic sessions with leadership, painful calibration and performance reviews, and the constant struggle to execute succession planning effectively at scale. We saw companies spending excessive time and money on systems designed for governance or administrative HR functions, but these tools offered no impact on performance or talent management

María Fernanda Castillo, Chief Product Officer & Cofounder Nala

Managing talent in large companies without advanced technology is like trying to climb a mountain without gear. At Nala, we provide HR teams with the tools they need to operate with the same precision and agility as business units—automating processes and delivering predictive insights with AI. Since our founding, we have helped organizations worldwide transform their talent strategy through data and automation. By replacing spreadsheets with smart technology, we reduce risks, optimize organizational performance, and ensure key talent receives the right development at the right time.

Daniel Cuche, CTO Nala

Talent decisions can no longer be made once a year using outdated data. The future of talent management is dynamic, driven by real-time data and AI that enables organizations to anticipate rather than react. At Nala, we are building the technology to make this possible at scale

Our goal is clear: to become the most trusted talent management and succession planning platform for global companies. We will continue to innovate, helping more organizations optimize their talent strategy with AI, automation, and advanced analytics
