Bio
Carlos Madera
I've had the pleasure of working with Ravi for 5 1/2 years and had the opportunity to work directly with him on many critical projects. During that time, I saw Ravi contribute to Coupa’s growth (starting with 15 customers to now over 350) and success. Customers appreciate Ravi's professionalism and problem solving skills. He is a great leader that recognizes his team’s hard work and promotes from within. While we worked together, I got to know Ravi quite well and can honestly say that he was one of the best VP's I've ever worked with and if given the opportunity would work with him again.

Having known Ravi for years, I've always been impressed with his ability to get things done. He'd take on more and more challenges and succeed. At Coupa, Ravi had probably the most diverse job in the company...working from pre-sales to post-sales implementation to hosting. He brought confidence, clarity and a positive attitude to every aspect and won the respect of prospects, customers and internal groups.
