About
Diego Oppenheimer is a serial entrepreneur, product visionary, and executive specializing in data analytics, Machine Learning Operations (MLOps), and enterprise AI infrastructure.
He began his career at Microsoft, where he managed and shipped key data analysis products including Excel, Power Pivot, SQL Server, and Power BI, developing a deep expertise in what enterprises require to leverage data. He then co-founded Algorithmia, an MLOps platform focused on helping organizations deploy, manage, and scale machine learning models securely.
Algorithmia was successfully acquired by DataRobot in 2021, where Diego transitioned to the role of Executive Vice President of MLOps. He has since continued his entrepreneurial journey, co-founding Guardrails AI and taking a leadership role at the venture fund and incubator Factory, which specializes in AI investments.
Today, Diego works with founders who are building the next generation of AI agents and data infrastructure, leveraging his experience in scaling enterprise software, navigating the competitive AI landscape, and positioning deep technology companies for strategic exits to market leaders.
“In the AI ecosystem, you win by solving the infrastructure paradox: building systems that are both highly scalable and can handle the stateful, cognitive demands of thinking software. I help founders secure the kind of technology advantage that drives massive enterprise acquisition value.”
