For Organizations
FinOps and cloud cost, AI operations, automation, and the revenue and operating cadence to run them — starting with a fixed-scope Cloud Cost & FinOps Diagnostic and growing into fractional advisory. This is engineering work, not a billing review: the plan gets rebuilt around what the architecture should be, not just trimmed around what it costs today.
What the Cloud Cost & FinOps Diagnostic delivers
- A prioritized map of where cloud spend is actually leaking, with estimated savings ranges.
- A unit-economics view of your spend — cost per customer, per environment, per workload.
- A 90-day FinOps operating plan with named owners and a clear decision cadence.
- Quick wins your team can action immediately, separated from the structural changes.
Who I work with
CFOs, VPs of Engineering, and COOs at Series B–D SaaS and larger technology organizations — teams whose cloud or AI spend has outgrown the visibility and ownership around it.
How engagements work
Most teams start with the Diagnostic, then move into a fractional retainer for ongoing FinOps, AI operations, and business operations. You work directly with Thomas throughout — no hand-off, no junior team.
What the first 90 days actually look like
Access to billing, architecture, and the people who run it. I map where spend and effort actually go, quantify the leaks as ranges, build the unit-economics view, and separate quick wins from structural fixes. You get the findings and the plan — whether or not we continue.
The immediate savings get actioned. More importantly, every cost and operating number gets a named owner, and the reporting that makes those numbers visible goes in.
The architectural and workflow changes worth making get sequenced and driven. The weekly and monthly operating cadence starts running — real forums, real decisions, real accountability — so the gains hold after I step back.
What you need to bring
Access to billing and architecture, a few hours of engineering time, and leadership aligned that this matters. That's it — but those three are non-negotiable. Engagements fail when the plan is right and the access or the buy-in never arrives.
If your problem is operational chaos, not just cost
That's the same engagement. Runaway spend, scattered automation, and AI pilots going nowhere are usually symptoms of a missing operating system — no owners, no cadence, no prioritization. The Diagnostic finds the root cause; the 90-day plan installs the structure. Cost is simply the clearest place to prove it's working.
