Andrii Kosar

Hi 👋

I’m Andrii Kosar. I build businesses in technology, retail and the circular economy. Much of my work is about how people buy, trade in and reuse their devices.

I started my first business at 16, selling gaming servers. Then we opened an online clothing store, when buying clothes online was still unusual. After trying a few businesses, I started working in retail at 18. I began on the shop floor and became one of Foxtrot’s top 100 salespeople. Later, I managed production and 18 service centres, and developed IT, insurance and service products at leading Ukrainian consumer electronics companies.

I also co-founded YAVOKO, a branding agency. As a brand strategist, I worked with clients across industries, from retail and consumer goods to defence. I helped them stand out from competitors through their products, design and customer experience. Sometimes we had to change the product itself.

In 2020, we founded Breezy. During my nearly six years as CEO, our team grew the business to eight markets and completed two acquisitions. We built a business that buys used devices, restores them and sells them again. Today, Breezy works with more than 70 partners, including Apple, Samsung, Orange, RTV EURO AGD, Rozetka and Kaspi. Forbes Ukraine named Breezy one of Ukraine’s four e-commerce niche champions. We have also won several Circular Tech Awards.

Today, I’m Breezy’s Co-founder, Chief Strategy Officer and Board Member. I focus on entering new markets, building partnerships and finding new business opportunities.

I’m also interested in AI, marketplaces and new businesses that can grow across countries. I want to build a global business with roots in Ukraine.

Have an idea that could grow into something big? Let’s talk.
