Now that Mike Lipps is running Coupa, I’m curious what former/current Qlik employees can share about his operating style there.
How did he approach layoffs, reorganizations, replacing C-level executives, acquisitions/integration, and cost cutting? Was he generally a “steady the ship” CEO, or did he make pretty significant changes when he came in?
I’m particularly interested in what actually happened on the ground versus the official company messaging.
Mike Lipps, was impressive in terms of identifying the things that companies do that dont work and started making change almost right away. I wish he had stayed as the CEO. Mike Lipps was visible and vocal.
TB owned company. Consolidate, squeeze profits. Rinse and repeat. PE can be ruthless, Mike seemed to try.
@cv nevermind, thought this was about Mike Capone
Can you shed any more light on this? Can't see anything officially announced about Mike joining Coupa?
