Bear with me here, it's a little long winded.
Irina Derevko was definitely the head of the late organization we know as the Covenant. First there is the circumstancial evidence and then there are the little hints dropped in by the writers in Season 3.
In Season One, we learn that there has been an organization headed up by The Man who we later learn is Irina Derevko. This organization employs none other than McKenas Cole, Sark, and Khasinau. The Covenant also employs the Cole, Sark, and many high ranking ex-KGB ers like Khasinau. Perhaps after Irina escaped from the CIA, she rounded up all her old colleagues from back in the days of 'The Man' and formed the Covenant in it's place. The Covenant does appear pretty soon after Irina's escape. In 3x09 Concious, Syd has a flashback where Vaughn tells her that they got a report on an emerging terrorist organization known as the Covenant.
Both The Man and Covenant were geared towards finding Rambaldi's endgame. Irina also hinted that she was after the passenger in 2x18 Truth Takes Time. She talks to Sloane about how he is a terrible husband and father, which is why they have their arrangement in the first place. Translation: "your an unfaithful husband, a deserting father, but now we need to find our daughter." All the way back in Season Two, Irina knew she was looking for her daughter. How? Dr. Li. He was working for Irina in the Season One finale, helping torture Will. We later learn that he was also the head of Soviet Passenger Reasearch. So he must have been the one to spill the beans about the passenger to Irina.
Now in Season 3, there were two really obvious hints that i;m surprised no one really picked up on. First was in 3x07 Prelude. Sloane gives Sydney a card with her handwriting. She had written a code which Jack confirms is a code used by Irina during the missing years. In 3x11, Full Disclosure, we learn that the Covenant forged the card. Meaning that the covenant knew Irina's codes, thus she must be somehow invovled. And then in 3x17 The Frame, Bomani says to Sydney that Irina will appreciate getting the Rambladi Box back.
And last but not least, Irina is killed and the Covenant falls apart at about the same time. Hmmm.
Anyways, I rambled on a bit but the timeline makes sense.
Season 1 - Irina pursues Rambaldi as 'The Man'
Season 2 - Irina hands herself in for the 47 Rambaldi artifacts.
Season 2 Early - 'The Man' organization falls apart.
Season 2 Late - Irina escapes and forms the Covenant.
Season 3 - Irina acts as director of the Covenant and picks up where she left off with 'The Man'.
Season 4 - Irina is killed by Jack and the Covenant collapses.
