Ali Khajeh-Hosseini is co-founder of Infracost, where he leads Product and Customer Success. He earned a PhD in cloud cost modeling from the University of St Andrews before "FinOps" was a term, and has spent over a decade at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and cost optimization. Before Infracost, he co-founded two cloud startups — ShopForCloud (acquired by RightScale) and AbarCloud (acquired by Snapp) — and today works with some of the world's largest enterprises to shift cloud cost governance left, into the pull request, before infrastructure is ever deployed.
