What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my FinOps expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on cloud financial management and governance.

I am a highly skilled FinOps Practitioner with extensive experience in Financial Operations and Governance across multi-cloud environments. My expertise lies in optimizing cloud spending, implementing cost control strategies, and establishing governance policies to ensure operational efficiency and financial accountability. I have a proven track record in AWS and Azure, with exposure to GCP, focusing on delivering value through cost transparency and proactive management.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant cost savings, including an annual cloud cost reduction of 25% through rightsizing and automating cost controls. I successfully implemented multi-cloud governance processes that improved tagging compliance and resource accountability. My ability to develop custom cost dashboards has provided C-level executives with real-time insights into cloud spending and savings opportunities, enhancing decision-making and strategic planning.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in cloud cost management and financial analysis to drive organizational success. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to fostering strong stakeholder engagement to optimize resource usage and align cloud expenditures with business objectives.
