Launching Enterprise FinOps at Scale ft. Scott Linn, Chevron | FinOps in Action | Ep 25

How can enterprise FinOps drive change across cloud, culture, and leadership?

In this episode of FinOps in Action, I sat down with Scott Linn, Cloud and Services Optimization Manager at Chevron, who shares how he helped launch the company’s first FinOps function after decades in cloud operations. Scott reflects on the mindset shifts, executive support, and automation strategies that helped Chevron turn FinOps into a company-wide responsibility.

Together, we dive into key topics, including:

  • Why executive buy-in is critical for starting and scaling FinOps

  • How Chevron automated VM shutdowns and leveraged Power BI + Azure for cost visibility

  • Why you shouldn’t wait for perfection before taking FinOps action

  • The importance of challenging engineering norms to drive better outcomes

  • Scott’s journey from San Francisco to Texas—and what’s next after Chevron

Whether you’re launching a FinOps program or improving an existing one, this episode offers hard-earned advice from a seasoned leader who helped shift cloud strategy in one of the world’s largest energy companies.


Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more expert interviews, FinOps leadership strategies, and cloud cost optimization insights!
