About Olga

More than 20 years of online marketing, at the helm of Rheinwunder since 2017.

Olga studied International Business Administration at the Ural State University of Economics in Yekaterinburg and business administration with a focus on marketing at Fachhochschule Wiesbaden. She gained her first professional experience in import and as agency manager of a travel company in Bangkok. In 2004 she moved into affiliate marketing and worked until 2012 as International Affiliate Strategist at the digital agency bigmouthmedia (later LBi Group) in Munich. Alongside her job she completed an MBA at FOM in Essen.

In 2012 she switched to the retailer side. As Head of Affiliate Marketing at Galeria Kaufhof GmbH in Cologne she built up the affiliate channel of galeria.de. In 2017 she joined Rheinwunder as managing director and partner and has run the company together with Ralph Grundmann ever since.
