Coupa Software Announces New CFO

Kevin Burns, a seasoned technology industry leader, has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer of Coupa Software, a spend management company. This move follows the departure of Tony Tiscornia, the company’s previous CFO of 11 years, who announced his decision to leave via a LinkedIn post last month.

Burns brings over thirty years of experience in the tech sector, having previously served as the CFO of Dynatrace. His tenure as the new CFO commenced on November 13, as confirmed by a Coupa spokesperson.

The appointment of Burns is part of a series of recent leadership changes within Coupa Software, particularly after its acquisition by private equity firm Thoma Bravo earlier this year.

The acquisition by Thoma Bravo, finalized in February for $8 billion, marked Coupa’s shift from being a publicly traded company (since its IPO in 2016) to a privately held entity

Coupa’s CEO, Leagh Turner, highlighted the significance of this transition, stating, ”Coupa is writing a new chapter, ensuring continued innovation and customer success while creating a durable business focused on sustainable growth and profitability. Kevin brings a wealth of experience doing precisely that — leading and transforming companies to reach new levels of success.”

Turner assumed the role of Coupa’s CEO on November 1, transitioning from co-CEO of Ceridian. Mark Morgan, previously an interim CEO of Blue Yonder, was also recently appointed as Coupa’s Chief Commercial Officer.
