“Leslie is a procurement pioneer with first-class expertise that will certainly help propel Coupa to the next level,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa. “We believe her strong international experience, especially in the area of creating high performance, cross-cultural teams that deliver measurable results, fits Coupa’s DNA and will be extremely valuable as we continue to grow around the world. I am confident that Leslie is going to make an important and positive impact on our company.”

Previously, Campbell led the indirect global procurement team and the global platforms procurement team at Dell Inc. as its vice president of worldwide procurement based in Austin, Texas.  She initially worked as vice president and general manager of Dell’s Global Segment Business for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and was based for five years in Europe.

For the preceding eight years, Campbell led the Corporate Purchasing organization at Oracle. Prior to Oracle, she was licensed as a CPA in California and spent nearly eight years with KPMG in Audit, and in the International and High Technology Tax Practice. Campbell earned a bachelor’s of arts degree in Business Administration from the University of Washington.
