As FinOps Domain Lead for Eviden, Sjak controls and optimizes cloud costs for his clients. He recognizes that consuming resources in the public cloud has become quick and easy, but this convenient process results in recurring costs. Although public cloud costs are usually very transparent, they are also very complex. Understanding the cost details, allocation requirements and differences between public cloud platforms requires knowledge, skills, experience and dedication. Sjak helps clients reduce their costs by as much as 50%!
With more than 15 years of experience in IT cost modeling and business cases, Sjak is a creative but pragmatic problem-solver. When he isn’t reducing cloud costs for Eviden clients, Sjak aims at achieving a good work-life balance. He enjoys a good laugh as well as deep discussions, and in his spare time, he likes to cycle or hike. He lives with his wife in Sint-Michielsgestel, the Netherlands.
