Meet Our Talent Leadership

At Coupa, celebrating our people is part of our culture. Whether it’s driving innovation behind the scenes or stepping up in moments that matter, we recognize and reward those who go above and beyond to help us shape what’s next. That’s why the Coupa India Leadership Team created the Extra Mile Award —a quarterly recognition that honors individuals who demonstrate excellence, resilience, and impact. It celebrates those whose contributions drive results, inspire teams, and embody our Coupa Core Values. This quarter, we’re proud to recognize two standout engineers whose dedication helped lead a global rollout to success: Sourabh Jagadale and Sayan Acharjee. Their work on deploying the Pulse Agent for Elasticsearch observability demonstrates what it means to combine deep technical skill with strong leadership and cross-functional collaboration. Joining forces, Sourabh and Sayan helped the Coupa engineering teams get better insights into how the system is performing, detecting issues faster and more proactively.

As the global economy continues to evolve, Coupa is at the forefront—transforming how companies make decisions and trade with one another. From automating workflows to optimizing entire supply networks, we’re building a new intelligent enterprise platform powered by agentic AI. But equally important is having the right people in place to guide this transformation and vision. We recently sat down with Salvatore Lombardo, Coupa’s Chief Product & Technology Officer, to talk about his AI vision, the company’s compelling data advantage, and why now is a career-defining opportunity for engineers to help us build tomorrow together. What drew you to Coupa? Salvatore: After leading product and engineering for global procurement platforms for many years, I saw an inflection point coming—where AI, data, and cloud-native architecture could converge to fundamentally reshape how companies make decisions and operate. I joined Coupa almost a year ago because it was clear this was the place to turn that vision into reality. Coupa had the foundation: a unified platform, deep domain expertise, and a uniquely rich dataset built from real spend transactions across a global network. What we’re building now isn’t incremental—it’s a new operating model for enterprise decision-making. One powered by agentic AI, fueled by trusted data, and designed to help businesses move faster, collaborate smarter, and create lasting value. This is the most exciting time to be a part of Coupa. We’re scaling fast and seeking talent that wants to shape not just a product but build a platform and lead the industry.
