Dive Insight:
The appointment is the latest in a series of recent leadership changes at the San Mateo, California-based software company in the wake of its acquisition by private equity firm Thoma Bravo earlier this year.
“Coupa is writing a new chapter, ensuring continued innovation and customer success while creating a durable business focused on sustainable growth and profitability,” Coupa CEO Leagh Turner said in a Tuesday press release. “Kevin brings a wealth of experience doing precisely that — leading and transforming companies to reach new levels of success.”
Turner was named Coupa’s CEO on Nov. 1 after serving as co-CEO of Ceridian. In September, Coupa announced that it tapped Mark Morgan, a former interim CEO of digital supply chain platform provider Blue Yonder, to become its new chief commercial officer.
In February, Coupa announced the completion of an $8 billion deal to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, which resulted in the software company becoming privately held after going public in 2016.
