Pierre Laprée
Chief Product Officer, SpendHQ
Pierre Laprée is the Chief Product Officer at SpendHQ, where he blends deep procurement expertise with entrepreneurial vision to shape industry-leading solutions. Known for his pioneering work building the very first Procurement Performance Management solution, Pierre brings a product-first mindset grounded in real-world procurement challenges and a passion for solving problems others overlook.
Pierre’s journey into procurement began unexpectedly—while working in IT project management for The Adecco Group, he was tapped to help select a new eProcurement solution. That project sparked a curiosity that evolved into a calling. He went on to lead global IT procurement, and later oversaw procurement process, performance, and technology initiatives. That experience laid the groundwork for founding Per Angusta, a breakthrough solution that helped define an entirely new category in the ProcureTech market.
Pierre holds dual master’s degrees in business administration: one from KEDGE Business School with a specialization in Information Systems, and another from Laval University, focused on eBusiness. He is also a member of the Galion Project, a leading think tank for tech entrepreneurs in France and the U.S.
Outside of work, Pierre is an avid runner (PR: 1h44 for the half marathon), an accomplished baker of Instagram-worthy cakes, and a globe-trotter always chasing his next adventure. His proudest achievement? Helping to elevate procurement from a back-office function to a strategic powerhouse—one project at a time.
