Keynote Cloud Panel – VPs Product/Eng from AWS, Microsoft, Google, Oracle Cloud

Join us for a compelling keynote panel featuring cloud engineering leaders from AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud as they delve into how FinOps is becoming everyone’s job — embedding cost awareness into development and product design cycles. Pravir Gupta (VP Engineering, Google), James Greenfield (VP, AWS Platform Experience), Manan Syal (VP of Software Development, Oracle) and Scott Hunter (VP Product, Azure at Microsoft) will share how their organizations are enabling engineers to optimize for value, making smart tradeoffs between cost, time to market, quality, and security. With the rise of GenAI workloads, the panel will also explore how FinOps is evolving to manage, allocate, and demonstrate the value of AI spend. They’ll highlight the critical role of putting accurate, consistent, and timely cost, usage, and utilization data directly into the hands of engineering teams. Finally, the discussion will address the growing Cloud+ scopes of FinOps — including managing SaaS, AI, and on-premises spend profiles — and how platform teams are expanding their practices beyond cloud to meet today’s broader FinOps challenges.
