What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud and GenAI cost strategy and FinOps—building capacity-driven models, partnering with engineering, and delivering measurable cost reductions and clear executive reporting for scaling decisions.

I’m a Finance Director with 25+ years of experience, including 13+ years at RELX/LexisNexis leading financial decision support for a global IT infrastructure and cloud portfolio now covering $100M+ in annual spend. I build capacity-driven financial models with Engineering and Operations, turning technical consumption assumptions into defensible cost guidance for product and investment decisions.

I drive five consecutive years of ~10% year-over-year operating cost reductions and I negotiate directly with AWS, Azure, OpenAI, and Anthropic across savings plans, reserved capacity, and enterprise agreements. As a FinOps Certified Practitioner, I serve as the finance persona between Global Technology Finance and the enterprise FinOps practice to keep cost accountability embedded in cloud governance, backed by real-time dashboards built in Codex.
