Beyond the Dashboard: Why FinOps Must Evolve for AI, Automation, and Reality

Join CloudBolt CTPO Kyle Campos and guest presenter Tracy Woo, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, for an exclusive look at new findings from CloudBolt’s 2025 Industry Insights Report —revealing why most FinOps programs are falling short, and what the top 22% are doing differently.

Based on survey data from 350 senior IT executives, this session exposes the “automation illusion” plaguing the industry, where teams claim maturity while recommendations pile up unimplemented for weeks. You’ll discover why visibility without action has become little more than costly surveillance, how Kubernetes broke the traditional FinOps model, and why AI workloads demand an entirely new approach to cost optimization.
