Cloud Practice ยท ASEAN

Scaling a cloud practice from 41 to 167 FTEs in 90 days

Capacity, capability and commercial governance built in parallel to meet 2.8x YoY demand growth.

$18M portfolio delivered at 138% of target

2.8x YoY growth and 25% cost optimization

CSAT sustained at 4.75/5

Challenge

Rapid growth in cloud, data and GenAI demand outpaced delivery capacity, with margin and predictability at risk.

Approach

  • Mobilized global cross-functional hiring and onboarding at pace across multiple geographies.
  • Established Cloud, FinOps and PPM Centers of Excellence with standardized delivery frameworks.
  • Instituted forecasting, utilization and margin governance alongside AWS partnership motions.

What I took away

  • Hiring velocity without an onboarding and delivery framework converts growth into churn.
  • Utilization and margin visibility must arrive with the headcount, not after it.
