Kurt Backes

Senior Director, Business Development

Kurt is a Senior Director of Business Development at Thought Logic, helping build and expand our OneStream practice through national growth and go-to-market strategy. He works closely with our delivery team to make sure the engagements he brings to the practice translate into successful, referenceable client outcomes that grow into long-term finance and data transformations.

Kurt is passionate about helping finance leaders get more from the systems they already have or building the strategy for new ones, connecting EPM, ERP, cloud data warehousing, and AI into one decision-making solution. He partners with the office of the CFO to shape engagements around that convergence, believing lasting growth starts with clients getting real value from the first engagement.

Kurt brings 20+ years of experience connecting finance, IT, and data around better business decisions, with the last 10 years focused on EPM/CPM. He has helped lead national OneStream and data-focused practices as sales leader at several management consultancies, partnering with category-leading enterprises from manufacturing and supply chain to healthcare, CPG, and energy.
