Does this sound familiar?
❌ The Money Pit
Your SaaS spend has tripled since last year, but revenue hasn't. Nobody—not even your CTO—actually knows what you're paying for.
You're carrying unused licenses, paying for features you don't use, and have zero visibility into your actual software spend across departments.
Your board wants better margins. Your CFO wants cuts. But you have no idea where to start without breaking critical workflows.
❌ No Visibility
❌ Board Pressure

Three proven pathways to slash your SaaS costs and improve margins—without disrupting operations
Led by Dr. Shallon Brown
I turn your second-largest line item (SaaS spend) into your biggest cost-savings opportunity.
Software is 25-30% of most operating budgets, yet Gartner estimates 30% of it goes unused or underutilized. That's not a rounding error—that's potentially millions sitting on the table. I help finance and technology leaders reclaim it.
My approach: complete SaaS inventory audit, usage analysis by user and department, contract rationalization, and vendor consolidation—delivering average savings of $1.2M annually. I've led cost optimization initiatives across 250+ companies, from venture-backed startups to publicly-traded enterprises, always with the same goal: maximum savings, zero disruption.
The best part? The savings are recurring. One engagement delivers benefits year after year.
If your board is asking about software efficiency, or your CFO wants to understand where the budget's going, I have the answers—and the action plan.
