Paulo Araujo

I’m a FinOps and Infrastructure Finance professional leading global cloud cost optimization and forecasting. My focus is on aligning cloud investments with business priorities across GCP, AWS, and Azure, ensuring spend stays within optimal variance and supporting long-term strategic growth. With extensive experience managing complex, multi-million-dollar cloud and infrastructure budgets, I’ve built strong cross-functional partnerships between Engineering, Finance, and Cloud Ops. I’ve also supported large-scale technology infrastructure initiatives by leading compute, GPU, and data center capacity planning to ensure scalability, performance, and cost efficiency. I hold FinOps Certified Professional and FOCUS Analyst credentials from the FinOps Foundation, and I’m currently completing a postgraduate program in AI & Machine Learning at UT Austin to deepen my ability to apply intelligent, data-driven forecasting to cloud financial operations.
