About

Maya is the Founder, voice, creator, editor, photographer, and direction-setter at Wholesome Yum. She develops healthy and keto recipes, as well as the food product formulas for Wholesome Yum Foods. As a former software engineer, Maya also co-manages our mobile app and web development teams, designs our website, and knows just enough about our website code to get herself into trouble at times. She lives in Minnesota with her husband, Oleg, and two daughters. Her favorite things ever are travel, coffee, family time, and warm, sunny days — which she doesn’t get much of in her home state.

Oleg is Maya’s husband and Chief Operations Officer at Wholesome Yum. Oleg doesn’t know how to cook or how to blog, so instead he’s responsible for just a few other things to keep Wholesome Yum humming smoothly: Things like running our websites, co-managing our web and app development teams, and keeping track of our finances. He also brainstorms ideas and business strategy with Maya. When he’s not spending time on work or family, which is 110% of his waking hours, he likes to take his car to the occasional race track.

Amanda is the Digital Marketing & Partnerships Manager at Wholesome Yum. She manages our team for content, marketing, and social media, and brainstorms and implements marketing strategies with Maya.
