LEADERSHIP

David Den Boer founded Column5 Consulting in 2005. A dedicated professional services practitioner and entrepreneur, he has applied his significant technical delivery experience and broad experience providing solutions across a wide variety of industries — and raising the standards for what success means within EPM. As a founding principal with the launch of Column5, David sought to extend the focus of EPM beyond just implementing technology, assembling a team of business process visionaries and senior product talent with unmatched ability to deliver world-class EPM solutions.

Under David´s leadership, Column5 has evolved beyond its reputation for technically superior solutions to be an influential global provider of high—value EPM solutions. His prior experience includes consulting experience as Director of Services at OutlookSoft from 2000 to 2005.

Hunter Moore brings over 20 years of extensive experience in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) to his role at Column5. Before venturing into the EPM space, Hunter honed his skills as an FP&A Manager at a large technology firm, where he successfully managed planning and analytics processes, demonstrating his adeptness in financial strategy and operational efficiency. At Column5, he has leveraged his expertise in various roles over the past 14 years, including Sr. Consultant, Delivery Manager, and Director of Solutions, consistently driving value for clients through innovative financial planning and budgeting solutions. Hunter holds an MBA from Texas A&M University, underpinning his deep understanding of business administration and strategic management.

In his current position, Hunter excels in marrying customer needs with cutting-edge technology solutions while optimizing internal processes to enhance service delivery. He is instrumental in the development of the Column5’s planning software products, ensuring that they meet the evolving demands of the market. His strategic vision and leadership foster a collaborative culture within the organization, promoting continuous improvement and operational excellence. 

Steve Sussman oversees Column5´s global sales, business development and marketing initiatives. He has more than 20 years of experience in the EPM industry, including 6 years at Hyperion and over 5 years at OutlookSoft/SAP in sales and marketing related roles.

Steve delivers a wealth of experience through his highly educational, consultative approach. His unique ability to partner with visionary executives from a who´s who of leading global organizations has played a vital role in helping them transform their companies to achieve new heights. Under Steve´s direction, Column5´s sales team focuses on educating clients to appreciate sources of value, rather than strictly emphasizing technical specifications. In this way, Steve´s contributions reach far beyond sales — he has served as a career counselor and collaborator for many company leaders, and helped them achieve personal advancement by driving business results from their successful EPM initiatives.
