Born in Pamplona, Spain, Olga has always been known for her open-mindedness and love of travel. She discovered her love of languages when her family hosted an exchange student from the United States – an experience that had such a profound impact on her that she later went on an exchange program to the US for a year herself.
Olga began her career in the tourism industry as a tour guide in northern Spain. Her language skills were an asset to her in the role, but she was keen to try more new things, so she went to Munich to improve her German. She worked at a travel agency there for three years before deciding to turn her passion for languages into a career. That’s when she started studying languages at the University of Granada.
After successfully completing her studies as a translator and interpreter for German and English, Olga returned to Munich and began her career as a freelance linguist and project manager, working for Siemens Language Services, among others, where she met the first “Leinis.”
Olga has been a full-time account manager and in-house linguist at Leinhäuser since 2011. In this time, the scope of her work has continued to evolve. In addition to her traditional account management duties, she translates texts on a wide variety of topics into Spanish, makes creative adaptations, and supports the audio-video team with voice-over and transcription projects.
Since early 2023, Olga has also headed Leinhäuser’s Partner Management department and is responsible for the administration and maintenance of our service partner community.
The biggest challenge is reconciling differing expectations and interests. But that’s exactly what makes this job so exciting and varied for me!
Olga likes to spend her free time outdoors hiking, jogging, or swimming. Sport has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember, and it serves as an important balance to her everyday life. Her love of travel has also stayed with her – fortunately, she keeps finding herself drawn back to Munich.
