Column5 Consulting Names David JH Jones Managing Director of EMEA Division
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) December 04, 2013 -- Column5 Consulting, a global leader in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) consulting, has named David JH Jones as its new Managing Director in the UK and EMEA.
David, who was most recently Director of EPM Consulting at PwC, leading some of PwC’s largest UK EPM projects, will be responsible for growing Column5’s partnerships, client base and high quality team across EMEA. Prior to that, David was Services Director and Middle East Managing Director at Paragon Consulting Group, one of Europe’s leading EPM practices, which PwC acquired in 2010. Column5, which had previously focused its EMEA division almost exclusively on the UK, will expand its presence internationally through partnerships and direct expansion. David will spearhead these efforts based on his extensive European and Middle East consulting experience and far reaching network of senior finance executives across EMEA.
David brings nearly 30 years of finance transformation and EPM experience to Column5. "What attracted me to Column5 was its thought leadership and innovation in implementing EPM solutions globally,” David said. "With the extended and successful growth of Column5 globally, and with the market desperate for global quality and focused EPM implementation partners, it seemed the perfect time to accept the challenge of growing Column5 throughout EMEA."
“I am also impressed with Column5’s tradition of competency and quality that has established the company as one of the most trusted and exclusive resources offering implementation services in support of SAP EPM solutions at some of the world’s best known companies,” added Jones. “In an industry that is growing exponentially, I am proud to have joined a company whose reputation for focus, quality and excellence has driven its growth.”
As one of his primary duties at Column5, David will be directing Column5’s growth initiatives throughout EMEA beginning with an extensive recruiting campaign for exceptionally accomplished EPM resources.
“Column5 is proud of our long list of exclusive innovations that are engineered to deliver world class quality results and value for SAP EPM clients. These unique capabilities include EPM process best practice leadership, robust client enablement training programs, platform stabilization and performance optimization, and extended support,” said David Den Boer, CEO, Column5. “David’s leadership will help us enhance and deploy the entire spectrum of our capabilities to global customers who desire maximum value from their EPM solution delivery.”
