Summary
Shaun Mitchell is a VP of Technology and cloud-native leader with nine years of experience architecting cloud platforms, modern application architectures, and DevOps/SRE practices across financial services and tech. He has led transformations at ATB Financial and Western Financial Group, founded a tech consultancy, and most recently serves as VP of Technology at Earth Finance while working as a Google Maps Customer Engineer. Shaun combines CXO-facing presales and solution design experience—having influenced deals from tens of thousands to multimillions—with deep hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, serverless, GitOps, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code. He challenges traditional IT frameworks like ITIL, prioritizing velocity, persona-focused delivery and “DR by design” to reduce complexity and cost. Based in High River, Alberta, he’s comfortable translating HR and non-IT domains into agile delivery models—a less obvious strength that reflects his ability to apply cloud and DevOps principles beyond engineering teams. Enthusiastic about geo products, he’s recently deepened expertise in Google’s GEO portfolio, including Maps for ridesharing, Fleet Routing and Earth Engine.
