Dana Rebarchick

Founder & Managing Director

Southern Maryland

Dana Rebarchick founded Olio Brands on a simple but powerful conviction: that the right people, the right product, and the right community can build something truly extraordinary. A natural connector with an instinct for spotting great businesses and the talent to bring them to life, Dana has assembled a portfolio of six distinctive Southern Maryland brands — each one rooted in craft, community, and a genuine love for the people they serve.

Samantha Klobknock didn't arrive at the top of Blue Wind Gourmet — she earned every inch of it.

What began as a passion for great food and genuine hospitality has grown into a deep mastery of everything Blue Wind Gourmet stands for. Samantha leads with quiet authority and an unshakeable commitment to craft — the kind that can only be built one long day at a time.

Nicole Heisey

Brand Lead — Black Point Chocolate

Lexington Park, MD

Nicole Heisey carries chocolate in her blood. Raised in a family where the kitchen was sacred and the recipes were passed down in whispered detail, she learned the art of chocolate-making long before it became her profession. From her grandmother's hand-tempered truffles to the single-origin bars she now crafts at Black Point Chocolate, Nicole has spent a lifetime refining a tradition that spans generations. As brand lead, she brings that same reverence for heritage to every collection — sourcing the finest cacao, honoring time-tested techniques, and layering in a modern sensibility that makes each piece feel both timeless and entirely her own. Black Point Chocolate is not just a product; in Nicole's hands, it is a living family legacy.

Teresa Gieszl

Co-Founder & Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach — The Healthie Hive

Southern Maryland

Teresa Gieszl co-founded The Healthie Hive carrying two decades of clinical wisdom as a Nurse Practitioner and a conviction that true healing begins long before a prescription is written. After earning her certification in Functional Medicine Health Coaching, she joined forces with a like-minded team of women to build something the region had never seen — a wellness community rooted in science, compassion, and the belief that every person deserves to feel vibrant, understood, and empowered in their own body. At The Healthie Hive, Teresa bridges the precision of evidence-based medicine with the warmth of whole-person care — guiding clients through nutrition, lifestyle, and root-cause wellness strategies that go far beyond symptom management. Her approach is equal parts science and soul, and her presence in the community has become a quiet anchor for those seeking a deeper path to health.

Marzana Ichniowski

Operations Lead & Packaging Director

Marzana Ichniowski is the quiet engine behind two of Olio's most beloved brands. As Operations Lead at Blue Wind Gourmet, she sets the standard for how the team works — training staff with patience and precision, building systems that hold up under pressure, and leading by example in every service. Her presence on the floor is steady and reassuring; she is the person others look to when the room gets busy and the stakes get high. At Black Point Chocolate, Marzana channels that same meticulous energy into the art of presentation. She oversees all boxing and packaging for the brand's artisan chocolate line — hand-selecting materials, perfecting the ribbon, and ensuring that every box that leaves the atelier feels like a gift worth giving. For Marzana, the details are never small. Whether she is onboarding a new team member or tying the final bow on a holiday collection, she brings the same care, craft, and quiet pride that define the Olio standard.

Hannah Albright

Beverage Manager

Hannah Albright is the person who decides what's in your glass — and she takes that responsibility seriously. As Beverage Manager across the Olio portfolio, Hannah curates every wine list, cocktail program, and seasonal beverage menu for Blue Wind Gourmet and the full range of Olio special events. Her approach is deeply intentional: each selection is chosen not just for quality, but for the way it amplifies the food, the season, and the moment. She moves effortlessly between the intimate and the grand — from a hand-selected Burgundy that anchors a private dinner to a house-crafted botanical spritz that defines the spirit of a summer market event. Hannah's menus are never static; they breathe and evolve with the harvest, the weather, and the mood of the room. Across every brand and occasion, her work transforms a great meal into something genuinely unforgettable.
