Summary
Ilya Vladimirskiy is a fractional and interim data leader who helps scaling companies turn data investments into measurable business impact, blending over 20 years of hands-on engineering experience with a decade of leadership across startups and larger enterprises. He builds data platforms, governance, and autonomous teams while insisting success is driven by people and closeness to the business rather than tool fetishism. Ilya has led data organizations at Ada Health and Carfax Europe and now runs Lab IV, taking on part-time executive roles—currently overseeing engineering and infrastructure at BioAge Labs and driving EMEA business development for GeoAlert. He’s comfortable moving between strategy and the stack (BigQuery, Kafka, k8s, Python, Airflow) and has repeatedly turned fragmented data efforts into production-grade platforms and B2B data products. Based in Berlin, he combines rigorous academic training in math and CS with practical experience from research to industry, and even makes time for unconventional pauses—like a year as a full-time dad—bringing perspective to team culture and resilience.
