A regulated SaaS business operating in the defense sector was running on an ageing VMware estate with no coherent cloud strategy and no FinOps discipline. Cloud costs were drifting without visibility or control.

Engaged as Fractional CTO to lead the full VMware-to-Azure migration, establish Azure FinOps governance to bring cloud spend under control, and embed Secure-by-Design controls aligned to defense assurance frameworks.
