À propos de Nicolas
I help organizations cut costs by up to 83% while building scalable FinOps governance.
I specialize in transforming cloud financial management from reactive cost control into strategic business enablement.
Recent impact: Recovered CHF 200k through automated billing verification across millions in monthly spend. Enabled CHF 300k+ in savings by providing senior management with actionable insights on optimization levers. Achieved 32-83% cost reductions through reservation optimization, right-sizing, and architectural improvements across healthcare, finance, sports, and telecom sectors.
I build the infrastructure that makes FinOps operational, not PowerPoint recommendations. From ETL pipelines aggregating multi-cloud costs to FOCUS-compliant reporting dashboards, I deliver solutions that finance, engineering, and leadership teams actually use.
Core capabilities:
FinOps governance & reporting: Chargeback/showback automation, FOCUS implementation, shadow IT discovery (CHF 10k+/month uncovered)
Cost optimization at scale: Managed 500+ commitments (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans) worth CHF 900k/year with automated coverage tracking
Billing verification: Automated invoice validation pipelines processing millions in monthly consumption
Multi-cloud analytics: FOCUS FinOps Dashboard, Power BI dashboards, tailored to relevant audiences
Azure & AWS optimization: Reservations, Savings Plans, Hybrid Benefits, VM scale sets, spot instances, Fabric/Synapse/ADF rationalization
Fluent in French, English, Italian, and Portuguese, I support complex, regulated cloud transformations across Europe
