Maria Onishchenko New MD for Rynok Media

Maria Onishchenko has been named the new managing director of Rynok Media in Ukraine. Rynok Media, founded in the end of 2006, publishes handbooks authored by leading Ukrainian and foreign consultants and published in the form of books, CDs and online. Currently there are seven different handbook titles: "Tax Law," "Top manager Manual," "CFO Manua," "HR Manual," "Hotel Management," "Restaurant Management" and "Logistics."

Onishchenko, who has a degree in Marketing from Kiev National Economic University, has a managerial background from the media industry and her most recent position before joining Rynok Media was as commercial director of publications at the publishing house Media Holding Ukraine.

"I am pleased to join the Bonnier team," says Onishchenko. "The key direction of development is clear. Ukraine is a large country with a population of 45 million people and business is developing very actively - there is a clear need for information. I think there are great prospects for developing the high-quality existing handbooks and successfully launching new editions. Now the main task is to concentrate on the sales system - improve the work of telemarketing, increase the number of new subscriptions and renewals. We have set serious goals and I think there are good opportunities to meet them."
