Chief Executive Officer Medius

Last Reviewed: September 26, 2026

Executive Summary

Jim Lucier is Chief Executive Officer of Medius, which sells software that automates accounts payable — capturing, coding, approving and paying supplier invoices — and broader spend management. He took over in September 2021 from Per Åkerberg, who had run the company since 2015. Lucier arrived from SAP Concur, the travel and expense software business, where he had spent more than a decade and risen to President. The move took an executive from the best-known name in employee spend to a company working on the supplier side of the same finance function.

• Leads a company that reports more than 4,000 customers across 116 countries and $300 billion in annual spend processed through its platform.
• Joined SAP Concur in 2008 and held a series of executive roles there, including General Manager of the Federal Government business, Chief Services Officer, Chief Customer Officer and Chief Revenue Officer for North America, before becoming President.

Professional Journey

Before SAP Concur, Lucier’s experience included JPMorgan Chase and Gnossos Software, according to Medius; the roles he held there are not described in any source read.

He joined what is now SAP Concur in 2008 and held a sequence of executive roles that covered most of the customer-facing business. He was General Manager of the Federal Government business unit; Chief Services Officer, with the services, support and customer experience teams; Chief Customer Officer; and Chief Revenue Officer for North America, responsible for sales. Medius also lists a Vice President of Business Development role. He then became President of SAP Concur, the position he held when Medius recruited him.

Medius named him Chief Executive Officer effective 15 September 2021, succeeding Per Åkerberg, who had led the company for the previous six years and moved to its board. Under Lucier the company has continued to widen from invoice automation into spend management: it acquired Expensya, an expense management company, in July 2023, and in 2026 announced a partnership with Adyen to launch corporate expense cards in Europe and tax verification integrations with Thomson Reuters and Avalara. The senior team has also changed, with a new Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Customer Officer and Chief Product Officer joining in 2025 and a Chief Marketing Officer in September 2026, when Lucier described Medius as continuing “to scale globally and advance our innovation-led vision for AP automation and spend management.”
