Co-Founder & CEO

Neil Crossman

Neil leads Finabeo with a focus on delivering practical, high-impact solutions to complex technology spend challenges. After a career running large-scale, technology-led business transformations, he led FinOps and Cloud Cost Optimisation at PwC. There, he saw first-hand how organisations often relied on SaaS products to solve people and process problems — and why a boutique, human-led approach was needed. Neil co-founded Finabeo in August 2024, combining proven consulting methods with the proprietary Optimus platform. Outside work, he enjoys coaching kids’ football, attempting golf, and family walks along the Wirral coastline.

Co-Founder & CTO

Sarath Krishnan

Sarath brings over 20 years’ experience in Performance Engineering and Architecture across on-premise and cloud environments. While guiding clients through cloud transformations, he identified a gap in application optimisation — a challenge that inspired the creation of Optimus. Following his work at PwC, Sarath co-founded Finabeo with Neil to combine deep technical expertise with scalable, client-focused solutions. When not leading product and technical strategy, he enjoys the park with his dog and playing badminton with friends in London.

Technical Director of AI

Stuart Johnston

Permanently curious, I’ve been taking things apart for 40 years and putting things back together better than I found them for the last 25.

Successfully worked on both sides of the fence - Never been accused of sitting on it...

A career spent in a mix of operations and IT roles, leading large globally diverse teams delivering major infrastructure, field workforce and IT transformation programmes.

Happiest when leading teams to deliver something we’re only 90% sure of...but always do.

AI Operations

Srivardhan Shunmuganand

Sri noticed the emerging use of AI in global operations and enterprises which would cascade into an industry agnostic change to how technology is used and how value is created. He taught himself how to build, create and manage AI infrastructure using industry leading tools and is now helping helping enterprises implement AI in a meaningful manner focused on value creation. Currently, he is involved in building FinEye - an AI platform to automate FinOps whilst preserving valuable human specialist judgement and helps increase scale of operations.
