Irina Baranov: Guiding TIGER 21 Members from Success to Significance

With a deep commitment to both business and human development, Philadelphia TIGER 21 Chair Irina Baranov has played a pivotal role in shaping the TIGER 21 experience for her Members —helping ultra-high-net-worth individuals navigate the complexities of wealth, leadership, and legacy.

On a recent episode of the Legacy Listens podcast, host Robert Wermuth interviews Irina on how she curates an environment where Members—successful entrepreneurs and investors—come together in a confidential setting to have difficult conversations that are hard to discuss anywhere else. These conversations go beyond financial strategies and traditional speaker presentations, with Irina guiding Members in exploring the personal dimensions of wealth such as legacy planning, philanthropy, family dynamics, and personal growth.

“The higher and higher you go up that ladder, you don’t have a lot of peers, a lot of people that you can have that safe confidential space to discuss issues that keep you up at night.”

Irina discusses what it’s really like inside of TIGER 21 Meetings, the Portfolio Defense process, along with events and networks that allow Members to find true connections. She encourages Members to ask profound questions: “What legacy am I building? How can my wealth serve a greater purpose?” Irina’s passion lies in ensuring that her Members not only preserve and grow their wealth but also use it as a tool to positively impact the greater community.
