Summary
Alex Cuciurean is a director-level cloud and technology leader based in Berlin with 20+ years in enterprise IT and nine years focused on cloud architecture and transformation. As Head of Cloud and Senior Manager IT Infrastructure at PHINIA he oversees a global footprint across 43 locations, driving strategy, cost optimisation (cutting a $4.5M budget to $3M), and the build-out of an Azure landing zone spanning eight regions. He has a proven track record of turning advisory work into tangible revenue and pipeline growth—from launching Oracle OCI practices at Deloitte that generated nine-figure pipelines to delivering multimillion-euro Azure/AWS solutions in the EU public sector. A pragmatic operator, Alex led PHINIA’s DevOps transformation, established a FinOps operating model, and enabled secure generative-AI adoption across the estate. He combines deep hands-on technical experience (Terraform, Kubernetes, OCI/Azure/AWS, automation and telecom platforms) with vendor negotiation and global team leadership. Notably, he pairs enterprise-scale architecture skills with a consistent focus on measurable business impact—TCO reduction, service availability gains and rapid cloud adoption.
