What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead FinOps and multi‑cloud cost strategy, collaborate with finance and engineering, implement governance and deliver measurable savings while mentoring teams.

I am a FinOps Lead and Multi-Cloud strategist with 14+ years in IT, including over six years in cloud strategy and five years focused on FinOps. I lead teams to implement governance, FinOps-as-Code, budgeting, forecasting and cost allocation to enable data-driven cloud decisions.

I have delivered multi-cloud architecture and operations across AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI, led FinOps initiatives that saved $3.5M+ and implemented cost optimization programs that produced $1.5M savings at prior employers. I build automated dashboards and analytics using Power BI, native cloud tools and have applied Terraform/Ansible for infrastructure automation.

My approach blends technical delivery, financial modeling and stakeholder engagement — mentoring teams, enforcing tagging and guardrails, and collaborating with finance and engineering to improve transparency, governance and operational excellence.
