Coupa Announces 2017 Community Champion

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 18, 2017 -- Coupa Software (NASDAQ:COUP), a leader in cloud-based spend management, today announced the recipient of its “Coupa Community Champion” award. The champion award recognizes a customer who most embodies the “Power of We” - where none of us is as smart as all of us working together. It is one of Coupa’s core principles that encourages collaboration among peers, across industries and geographical boundaries to improve the overall spend management industry.

Financial Systems Analyst Diane Carrara of CSAA Insurance Group embraces the “Power of We” by assisting others in the Coupa Community, by generating great new ideas, and by adding depth and details to thought leadership by her peers.  

“Diane’s contributions to the Coupa Community are thoughtful and show her command of the topics being discussed,” said Raja Hammoud, vice president of product marketing and management at Coupa. “She understands so well that when we work together as one team striving for excellence, we can rapidly execute smart approaches to real-world issues. It’s an honor to name her the Coupa Champion of 2017 as she clearly embodies our Power of We principle.”  

To learn more about Carrara’s experiences as part of the Coupa Community, read an interview about her on the Coupa Blog. Carrara is also attending Coupa Inspire ’17, one of the world’s fastest growing spend management industry events that kicked off this week in San Francisco.

“Working with my peers around the world to redefine spend management is something I’m very proud of,” Carrara said. “It’s great when I get to go back to a user and tell them that functionality they wanted now exists in our latest release. They love to know that their input was listened to and even was part of a driver to get new functionality in Coupa.”
