  • Implemented multi-cloud dashboards for forecasting, cost overview, spending details, anomaly detection, and optimization tracking
  • Reduced budget consolidation time by 40% (from days to hours) and eliminated manual spreadsheet consolidation
  • Achieved €1.5M annual savings through 100 optimization actions and €50K daily cost avoidance via early anomaly detection
