About
Olga Katsnelson, Founder
Upon moving to San Francisco in 2005, Olga Katsnelson parlayed her experience working for top boutique public relations agencies by founding her own company, Postcard Communications & Consulting. This move allowed her to choose clients that deeply inspired her and to expand the scope of her work beyond hospitality to other creative realms and non-profits.
Before moving to the west coast, Olga served as account director at New York’s Bullfrog & Baum, one of the country’s most acclaimed boutique lifestyle pr and marketing firms. She began her pr career in 1999 at KB Network News. During her time in New York, she worked with some of the hospitality industry’s most esteemed names, including chefs like David Burke, Todd English, Bobby Flay, Patricia Yeo, Roger Vergé and Geoffrey Zakarian, as well as an eclectic array of bars, hotels and food products, among them Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle, Wheatleigh Country House Hotel, and Il Laboratorio del Gelato from the founder of Ciao Bella.
Before entering public relations, Olga worked as a bilingual refugee resettlement coordinator, assisting émigré families from the Former Soviet Union and the Balkans.
She graduated from Georgetown University, earning a degree, cum laude, in Art History and a varsity letter from the sailing team.
She now divides her time between New York and San Francisco, but was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. Fluent in Russian, she has served as a translator for everyone from nuclear engineers to Olympic gymnasts.
