Strategic Blue is a financial adaptor for cost-conscious buyers of public cloud. As an AWS Solution Provider, we sell cloud to each customer on tailored terms, and buy from AWS and other cloud vendors on their standard terms.

I am interested in personally helping education, research and scientific organizations, and other Techstars alumni buy their cloud more cost-effectively, no matter how large or small their cloud spend. Hear from our customers here.

I founded Strategic Blue nearly 10 years ago to bring expertise from the traded commodity markets to the cloud computing, hosting and datacentre industries. By adding finance, risk management and sophisticated billing services to basic resale, we deliver on the financial promise of the public cloud.

I have contributed to The Economist on "Why Cloud Pricing is Broken". I have spoken about Trading Cloud as a Commodity at various cloud computing conferences. Whilst I claim to be non-technical, I do have my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification.
