The best FinOps practices aren’t the ones that work hardest. They’re the ones that know exactly where to focus their own energy, where specialized tooling performs better, and how to prove the numbers in a way leadership can’t argue with. Nubank built a practice on that principle, resulting in a FinOps function that earns attention across finance, engineering, and leadership.
In this session, Thomas Hammer from Nubank and Alon Arvatz from PointFive walk through the playbook. How Nubank separates financial engineering from usage optimization so every cost conversation has a clear owner. How deeper detection, including the waste most tools miss, unlocked findings significant enough to move real numbers. The metrics Nubank uses to make FinOps impact legible across teams. And how outcomes tied directly to actual billing data turned cloud efficiency into something leadership actively tracks. Plus a look at where the discipline is heading as agentic remediation closes the loop faster than any human workflow can.
