Background

About Joey Clanton

As a Cloud FinOps Analyst at Paramount and former FinOps & Cost Optimization Specialist at AWS, I bring 5 years of experience helping organizations make smarter, data-driven decisions about their cloud usage. I specialize in partnering with engineering teams to optimize cloud spend through cost conscious architecture and strategic use of organization-wide private pricing agreements, reserved instances, and savings plans. My work bridges the gap between finance and technology—translating complex cloud usage into clear, actionable insights for both technical teams and leadership. I’m passionate about empowering organizations to take control of their cloud costs and plan with confidence. Whether it’s uncovering hidden savings opportunities or managing enterprise-level pricing strategies, I aim to deliver results that align with both performance goals and financial efficiency. Let’s connect if you’re interested in cloud cost strategy, FinOps best practices, or building a culture of financial accountability in the cloud.
