Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIrina Tagintseva is an MLOps engineer and system architect with 11+ years building cloud-native platforms, automation, and large-scale infrastructure across retail and tech enterprises. She has led cloud migrations, Kubernetes-based continuous delivery platforms, and DevSecOps transformations at Gap Inc., and now designs MLOps solutions for Apple's Channel Sales & Operations. Equally comfortable in engineering and business roles, she was an early business development hire at a startup acquired by Google and has founded and advised AI-focused companies that scaled petabyte-class automation and generative AI products. As an investor she backs security and privacy-forward AI startups, and her track record includes measurable cost savings and operational resilience at global scale. A Haas School of Business alum with additional software engineering training, she blends product sensibility with deep infrastructure expertise and a history of mentoring early-career engineers. Less obvious: she pairs hands-on systems work with strategic GTM and M&A experience, making her a rare technologist who shapes both product architecture and business outcomes.
