About Oleg Shchegolev

Oleg Shchegolev is CTO & Founder at Semrush. Location: North Miami Beach, Florida, United States.

I created Semrush in 2008, alongside my childhood friend Dmitry Melnikov. We spent a lot of time experimenting with fresh ideas and open minds to create a platform that we would be proud to call our own and that would revolutionize the world of digital marketing. Since then, Semrush has grown into the world’s leading online visibility management and content marketing SaaS platform. It’s trusted by more than 10 million users, including 30% of Fortune 500 companies. Semrush continues to build on the base of our initial creative thinking with an agile working philosophy and a vision of optimizing the marketing world one tool at a time. Our global team consists of more than 1000 like-minded people spanning 23 countries, connected by an equal, driven, and positive company culture. I have always believed that Semrush is a product where good marketers become great, and year after year, this proves to be the case with our international multi-award winning platform.
