Behind the Zeely marketing app is a small leadership team that spent years inside sales, digital marketing, and content work for real clients. All three founders were selected for Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe.
Zeely AI was founded in Ukraine in 2022 by three people who saw the same pattern. Small businesses wanted more sales but felt lost in complex ad accounts, random "boost post" buttons, and unclear reports. The founders turned that frustration into a tool that spells out what to do next, without the jargon.

CEO, Co Founder
Sets the vision and direction for Zeely
COO, Co Founder
Makes sure sales, support, and operations run smoothly
CPO, Co Founder
Owns the product roadmap and the day-to-day experience of using Zeely
Dima leads Zeely's overall vision and direction. He has spent more than 11 years in technical leadership, digital marketing, and managing outsourcing teams. That mix shapes Zeely into a platform that feels technical under the hood but simple on the surface.
For you this means a product that stays focused on plain questions like "how do I get my first sale from ads," not abstract features. Dima works closely with Alina, Zeely's CPO, to make sure new tools like AI video ads or batch static creatives ship with clear flows you can explore on the features page.
Yaroslav runs operations and growth. Before Zeely, he worked as a Chief Sales Officer at a fast-moving startup where he built and scaled sales teams from scratch.
Inside Zeely, he pays close attention to how quickly users launch their first campaigns, how support answers tough questions, and how smooth it is to go from trial to paid plan. When you see clean pricing, direct refund rules, and responsive support, that is the type of work he pushes.
Alina owns product for Zeely, from roadmap decisions to the day-to-day experience of using the app. She has worked as a content and marketing specialist and creative copywriter across agencies and media, and that background shapes how she builds the product: every screen has to explain itself in plain language first, design second.
She's the reason Zeely tells you why a creative might not pull clicks or how to fix a weak offer, instead of leaving you to guess. You can watch her present Zeely on stage in this Slush 2022 talk.
From that first version, built while the team was based in Ukraine, growth came fast:
This path keeps the team grounded. Every new feature has to earn its place by making your daily marketing work easier, not louder.
When you use Zeely, you're working directly with the founders – the same team that measures success by whether your ads bring sales and leads you can see on your phone.
I want founders who understand real sales and digital marketing
I like tools that stay simple, no matter the size of my team
I care about clear pricing and refund rules
I want AI that's straightforward about what it's doing
I want measurable performance over vanity numbers
