Raja is the complete embodiment of Coupa’s Business Spend Management Product approach. From establishing the “Northstar” product vision, laying down the strategy to achieve that vision, and empowering her team to tactically execute toward that vision, Raja has few peers based on my experience. Despite the effort needed to lead our Product Management Team effort at Coupa, she is always available to support any individual of need and any initiative that can benefit from her input.
Raja’s strengths are too many to list. She works with a passion and drive that I’ve seen from so few people in my life, and she’s done this for the 6+ years that I’ve known her.
