• Platform Governance: Establish and embed cloud management practices across the engineering organisation, ensuring resource visibility, tagging hygiene, and systematic elimination of waste.

• Executive Reporting: Translate infrastructure cost and efficiency metrics into clear business narratives for C-suite and finance stakeholders, connecting platform investment to unit economics and margin outcomes.
