Sidney Morais

With over a decade of experience spanning IT management, cloud engineering, and financial operations (FinOps), I specialize in driving cost optimization, cloud governance, and operational efficiency across complex multi-cloud environments.

Currently, as a FinOps Manager at WEX, I focus on building and enhancing cloud cost management practices. My role involves crafting tailored monthly cloud usage reports, guiding teams on cloud best practices and usage patterns, and strategically selecting Reserved Instances (RIs) and Savings Plans (SPs) across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I also oversee the optimization of WEX’s primary FinOps platform, ensuring it is customized to align with the organization’s unique objectives.

Previously, at KPMG Brazil, as a Senior Manager, I led a team of 10 in DevOps, Cloud Operations, and Data & Analytics. I delivered major cost-saving initiatives, such as achieving $90K in monthly cloud cost reductions and optimizing cloud security and governance frameworks. I also implemented Microsoft Intune to manage 2,000 devices, enabling streamlined asset management across enterprise environments.

Throughout my career at Globenet and ICOMON, I developed expertise in network security, identity management, process automation, and LGPD compliance while managing large-scale IT infrastructures and virtualization projects.

I am passionate about cloud financial management, delivering actionable insights, and empowering teams to make informed decisions. I hold certifications in cloud platforms and security, including:

Microsoft: SC-200, AZ-104, AZ-700, AZ-900, MS-900, SC-900

Fortinet: Certified Network Security Expert

Google Cloud: Associate Cloud Engineer
