About Cumulus Partners
Technology leadership built around business outcomes.
Cumulus Partners is a technology and AI advisory firm helping organizations make better decisions about technology, operations and transformation.
We combine executive-level strategy with practical operating experience to help leaders cut through complexity, identify where technology can create meaningful value and turn those opportunities into action.
Led by founder and CEO Kevina Finn-Braun, Cumulus brings together the experience, perspective and specialized expertise needed for each engagement.
Technology Should Move the Business Forward.
Cumulus was founded on a simple idea: technology strategy works best when it starts with the business.
Too often, organizations begin with a platform, an AI tool or the latest technology trend and work backward looking for a problem to solve. We take the opposite approach.
We start by understanding where the organization is going, what's getting in the way and where meaningful opportunities exist. Only then do we determine how technology, AI, automation and operational change can help.
The result is technology strategy grounded in economics, execution and measurable business outcomes.
Meet Kevina Finn-Braun
Founder & CEO, Cumulus Partners
Kevina Finn-Braun has spent more than two decades at the intersection of technology, operations and business performance, leading global organizations through some of their most complex technology challenges. Her career spans leadership roles at Yahoo, Salesforce, Intuit, Splunk, NielsenIQ and Trilogy Software, with responsibility for global cloud platforms, AI and automation, reliability engineering, enterprise technology operations and large-scale transformation.
What distinguishes Kevina is that she approaches technology as a business leader, not simply a technologist. She has managed technology investments as large as $250 million, led global organizations of more than 150 people, migrated more than 5,000 enterprise customers to cloud-native infrastructure, and helped organizations turn technology strategy into measurable financial and operational results. At NielsenIQ, her work in FinOps, cloud governance and platform modernization enabled more than $15 million in annual savings.
Today, Kevina is at the forefront of practical enterprise AI. She built and deployed an agentic AI operations platform across more than 47 SaaS products that returns approximately 29,000 engineering hours to the business annually and generates $3.7 million in net annual savings at a documented 59:1 ROI. She also architected an enterprise LLM gateway providing governance and control across multiple AI providers.
Kevina founded Cumulus Partners to bring that same combination of executive perspective, technical depth and disciplined execution to organizations navigating AI, cloud strategy, technology operations and transformation. Her philosophy is straightforward: start with the business problem, understand the economics, then use technology where it can create meaningful, measurable value.
