ABOUT OLGA VOLKOVA
A design leader with over 17 years of experience driving Customer Experience (CX), User Experience (UX), UI, and Product Design across Telecom, Banking, and Business Consulting industries. With 12 years in leadership roles, I bring a proven ability to scale design operations, embed user-centered thinking into product strategy, and lead high-performing, cross-functional teams. My background spans both enterprise and consumer-facing domains, including education, retail, and the arts. Strategic Design Leadership Currently leading UX for Deutsche Bank’s flagship B2B platform, Autobahn, a mission-critical, multi-channel ecosystem supporting 1,200+ applications and users. Over the past 6 years, I’ve built and scaled a multidisciplinary UX team, introduced a data-driven UX methodology, and successfully embedded it into the SDLC across multiple product teams elevating design maturity and business impact. Design Systems & Governance As the owner of the enterprise Design System, I lead a governance forum of over 100 designers, ensuring consistency, scalability, and alignment with evolving business needs. I’ve driven adoption of design standards and accessibility (WCAG), now fully integrated into UX, development, and QA workflows. Mentorship & Culture Building A strong advocate for talent development, I’ve mentored graduates through Deutsche Bank’s graduate program for the past 3 years — guiding early-career designers and fostering a culture of continuous learning and design excellence. Creative Vision Beyond corporate design, I’m also an exhibiting painter, with solo and group exhibitions in 2024 and 2025. This creative foundation informs my approach to design leadership balancing innovation with structure, and vision with execution.
