“Coupa’s focus on value drew me to the company, as it’s something I’ve championed my entire career,” said Brennan. “Now more than ever, businesses need solutions that drive value and are turning to platforms like Coupa to implement, streamline and operationalize end-to-end processes that save time, resources, and money. I’m excited to further my passion for this kind of innovation and help steward the next phase of Coupa’s journey.”
Brennan started at Johnson & Johnson as a pharmaceutical sales representative, and quickly discovered not just a job, but a life-long career. In a previous role as Company Group Chair of Johnson & Johnson’s Medical Device business in Europe, Middle East & Africa, she boosted the struggling business in just three years to above-market growth for the first time in five years. Her success came from initiatives to combine three siloed franchises into one unified business unit, build critical capabilities, transform the business model from “technology only” to “technology plus digital solutions,” and evolve the organizational mindset from “play not to lose” to “play to win.”
