About Deanna Irvin

I am a business development and strategic growth leader with a career spanning aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, and space sector. In my new role with Rogue Space Systems, I am focused on helping drive the next generation of commercial and defense space solutions by identifying growth opportunities, building strong partnerships, and translating complex technical capabilities into clear customer value. My work has always centered on creating meaningful connections, aligning business objectives with customer needs, and driving revenue through disciplined, mission-focused strategy. Before joining Rogue, I served as Business Development Manager at Alpine Aviation Group, where I helped lead growth across the defense, aerospace, and space markets while working closely with engineering, manufacturing, and customer teams to support mission-critical solutions. My background also includes additive manufacturing and advanced materials leadership through roles with DI Labs and Stratasys Direct Manufacturing, where I worked with aerospace, defense, research, and industrial clients on emerging technologies and high-performance applications. In addition to my experience in aerospace and manufacturing, I bring a unique foundation in VIP hospitality, live event production, private aviation, and luxury client relations. That combination has shaped my leadership style to be highly adaptable, polished, detail-oriented, and deeply people-centered. I thrive in fast-moving environments where strategy, collaboration, and execution matter, and I am passionate about building trusted relationships that lead to long-term growth and impact.
