Michael van Keulen

Most recently, van Keulen managed global procurement for athletic apparel and technical clothing retailer, lululemon, where he led a significant procurement transformation. As the new CPO of Coupa, van Keulen will set the overall strategic direction for business spend management for the company.

Van Keulen brings a wealth of experience leading high-growth procurement teams to Coupa. His background in both finance and procurement will enable him to not only develop best-in-class business spend management processes, but also partner effectively with finance to help deliver the company's short- and long-range business and financial goals.

At lululemon, van Keulen led a transformation to secure the company's supply chain with his strategic thinking and willingness to confront risk head on. Under his guidance, lululemon was able to reduce risk in its supply chain by eliminating single source suppliers for business-critical items.
