Teads, Senior Director, Cloud Economics
Shahar Barak leads Cloud Economics at Teads - one of the largest advertising platforms on the open web. He came to cloud architecture through the side door: procurement and business operations. That means he's usually the only person in the room who's seen the contract, the bill, and the architecture diagram for the same decision - and spends his days translating between three groups who don't speak each other's language: vendors, finance, and engineering groups
