ABOUT AWAIS AHMAD
I am a Senior Technology Leader and Principal Cloud Architect with over 25 years of experience bridging the gap between C-suite strategy and deep engineering execution.My focus is on defining \"Cloud First\" strategies that do not just look good on a roadmap but deliver hard commercial value. Throughout my career, I have orchestrated cloud transformations that have delivered over $265M in combined cost savings or avoidance. I have also architected the migration of 40% of enterprise server estates to public cloud environments (AWS/GCP).Unlike many at the Director level, I pride myself on maintaining a sharp technical edge. I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional) and I actively utilise Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) alongside Python and the AWS Bedrock ecosystem to build scalable platforms.Core Expertise:• Strategic Leadership: Cloud Strategy, Digital Transformation plus FinOps & Cost Optimisation ($250M+ savings).• Operational Agility: Reducing infrastructure provisioning from months to days (3-day SLA) via automation.• Technical Execution: AWS & GCP Architecture, Mobile Edge Compute (MEC) plus Large-Scale Migrations (7M+ mailboxes).• AI Innovation: Deploying agentic AI frameworks to drive operational efficiency (30% reduction in support call duration).I am currently seeking a role that allows me to leverage this dual perspective. I guide technical teams with authority while driving transformative business outcomes.
