$COUP Executive Advisory Board Welcomes Additional Industry Experts
EAB members will meet to provide thought leadership at Coupa’s Inspire ‘17
SAN MATEO, Calif., May 11, 2017 — Coupa Software (NASDAQ:COUP), a leader in cloud-based spend management, announced today that additional top industry leaders have joined its Executive Advisory Board (EAB) to help companies rethink how they can improve profit margins and increase global compliance with cloud-based spend management solutions.
Established in 2016, the EAB has expanded to 21 industry leaders whose mission is to transform how enterprises manage their spend. Over the past year, the EAB has focused on thought leadership – webinars, speaking engagements, blogs – around spend management as the new business imperative and how IT, finance, and procurement can work together to optimize business value.
“I am eager to join the EAB and leverage my 30 years of business experience as we work to help companies identify new and better methods of streamlining procurement processes,” said Chris Chadwick, director of procurement at Caterpillar.
On May 18, Chadwick will join Deloitte in discussing The Digital Supply Network mainstage at the fifth annual Coupa Inspire ‘17 event located at The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square.
“The EAB’s inaugural year has been quite productive and focused on evangelizing an expert point-of-view on the state of our industry,” said Todd Dooley, former vice president of finance at H&R Block. “I look forward to moving the needle even more in our second year with the addition of more experts on board.”
At Coupa Inspire ‘17, EAB members will also discuss their industry point-of-view by participating on a mainstage panel on May 17th entitled “Transforming your Business via Digitization”. Over the event’s two days, EAB members will also lead conversations in various CIO, CFO, and CPO focused breakout sessions on what’s top of mind for executives in today’s world of digital transformation. The EAB members will share thoughts on topics including maximizing profit margins, reducing costs, business agility, compliance, risk, and globalization.
The EAB is led by Coupa’s Executive Strategic Advisor Kendra Von Esh and includes current and former business executives. Of the 21 members on the board, 19 are external members and two are from the Coupa corporate team.
