PITTSBURGH, Sept. 2, 2025 -- Green Cabbage, the global leader in procurement intelligence, proudly announces the appointment of Michael Van Keulen (MVK) as its new Chief Client Officer (CCO). With more than 15 years of experience in procurement and supply chain leadership across high-growth retail companies and, most recently, as Chief Procurement Officer and Practice Leader at Coupa, MVK brings an unmatched blend of strategic insight, operational excellence, and global perspective to the Green Cabbage executive team.
Born in Amsterdam, MVK is truly a citizen of the world, having lived in five countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, USA, Canada, and now Portugal. Together with his wife and three children, whose diverse birthplaces span Belgium and Canada, his family proudly embodies what he calls "a true United Nations." Outside of work, he is a passionate sports fan, with loyalty to European football, Major League Baseball's New York Yankees, and Formula 1 racing.
"As a practitioner, I have always believed in making fact-based decisions, doing my homework, and establishing strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders," said MVK. "In the age of AI having reliable, structured, governed and trusted data is critical to understanding the competitive landscape, where there is leverage, while optimizing the value of spend requires the right intelligence at your fingertips. That is exactly what Green Cabbage has created, and this is the perfect time to help scale and grow globally across all verticals. I am truly inspired by the measurable value Eric, and the team are delivering to the procurement community, and excited about the journey ahead."
MVK began his career in Finance before transitioning into Procurement and Supply Chain, where he built a reputation for leading transformation, driving measurable savings, and implementing innovative sourcing strategies. His appointment signals a major step in Green Cabbage's continued growth following its recent Series A funding and its mission to transform how companies manage Indirect Technology, Contingent Workforce, Marketing, and Travel & Expense spend.
