An accomplished transformational leader with niche expertise in the intersection of Agile and FinOps practices for cloud cost optimization. Certifications as an Agile coach (SPC 5.0) and a FinOps Practioner has helped me in developing scalable frameworks to drive operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness in cloud computing environments. I managed the product delivery of teams who build a cloud native platform using Confluent Kafka and B2B Gateway resulting in 40% reduction in cycle time and a 31% lower cost per loan. Through collaboration with cross-functional teams, mainly IT teams, Finance and Procurement teams, I empower businesses to achieve tangible outcomes and unlock the full potential of their cloud resources by providing cost transparency. As a specialist in cloud cost management, I offer practical guidance to manage cloud costs effectively. Leveraging my proficiency in FinOps to optimize cloud costs through data-driven insights, aligning cloud spending with strategic goals, and identifying opportunities for cost savings, I have saved over $1M / year for corporations.

My passion for building communities and tribal knowledge allows me to utilize the power of empathy and gain deeper understanding of teams. It enhances communication, fulfills their requirements through increased self awareness and fosters connection amidst diverse perspectives.

Stepping out of my comfort zone and staying current with the rapid changes in technology nurtures my growth mindset. In 2023 I presented the Forecasting Framework at QlikWorld Conference (April, in Las Vegas) and conducted a Chalk Talk session on Unit Economics at the FinOps X Conference (June, in San Deigo).
