12 Years in Medical Travel
Yevhenii Kozlov has worked in medical travel for twelve years. He co-founded Bookimed in Kyiv in 2014 with Eugene Khotianov, and has led it since — from a short list of clinics the two founders could personally vouch for, to a platform working with more than 1,700 vetted partner clinics and 5,800 doctors across 32 countries.
He leads Bookimed's product and platform direction: which markets the platform enters, and the standards partner clinics are held to. Roughly one in ten clinics that apply is admitted to the network. Yevhenii regularly meets partner clinic teams in person. Medical accuracy on the platform is handled separately, by Bookimed's Medical Advisory Board and credentialed medical writers.
Before Bookimed, Yevhenii spent eight years running SEO-Studio (2006–2014). That gave him a background in search, digital marketing and platform development that shaped how Bookimed was built and scaled.
