FinOps and Cloud Cost leader driving measurable operational savings.
What I'm looking for
I am a hands-on FinOps and cloud operations leader with deep experience building FinOps, service delivery and product operations functions to optimise cloud spend and improve service maturity.
I have led teams at enterprise SaaS firms to deliver multi-million dollar cloud cost savings, improved gross margins, and stronger vendor and procurement processes while embedding analytics and reporting into engineering workflows.
My approach combines strategic vision and practical execution — from cloud cost modelling and rightsizing to incident management, governance and cross-functional process adoption — enabling data-driven decisions and operational transformation.
