Testimonials

Olga’s strategic vision, drive for impeccable creative solutions and empathetic team leadership is what makes her an incredible triple threat and an invaluable business asset. A generous Creative Director, her passion for nurturing and developing talent is clear. I benefitted immensely from Olga’s coaching and mentoring during the 8 years she was my manager at Cengage, and I’m forever grateful for the lasting impact her supportive leadership has had on my career.

Olga is a true leader and visionary. As a manager, she has a wonderful ability to engage and motivate. She is the perfect example of a servant leader, creating a safe environment for her team to learn and grow. Under her guidance and encouragement, I have become a stronger creative thinker. In problem-solving situations now, I often think - how would Olga approach this? Olga doesn’t just talk about it - she shows you first-hand how embracing design thinking, and building a strategic framework help to guide the decision making process. I have seen how her input enhances creativity and improves the user experience - adding value to better shape the product direction. Olga has an approachable and friendly nature capable of connecting with stakeholders at every level, and she won’t shy away from asking difficult questions. She is an exceptionally talented creative mind, and has my utmost respect as a manager… and as a human. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Olga again in the future.
