Lupu believes the procurement sector is<br />
undergoing a seismic shift – teams are more<br />
focused on return on investment (ROI) rather<br />
than savings, the field is also becoming more<br />
digitised, and teams are being created based<br />
on ambition just as much as their skills.<br />
Having built its procurement function from<br />
the ground up, procurement has been a pivotal<br />
enable of UiPath’s growth and Lupu believes<br />
his strategy is a simple but meaningful one.<br />
“The main rule is that procurement needs to<br />
be smart, it needs to be simple and it needs<br />
to be scalable,” asserts Lupu. “Now, we have<br />
around 1,700 employees, next year we could<br />
have 10,000. I think the keyword now is still<br />
growth; we’re in skyrocket mode. Where there<br />
is an enterprise market, we need to be there.<br />
Our focus now is growing the business and<br />
to remain a leader in the RPA sector.”<br />
