Meet Manychat's
leadership team

You won't find them behind closed doors of a corner office. You're more likely to catch them in a meeting room, on the All Hands stage, or dropping a 💚 in Slack.

They've built products you've almost certainly used — at Uber, Wix, Intercom, McKinsey — and the teams that made them. Work millions of people rely on every day.

Different backgrounds, different opinions, and zero fear of voicing them: they challenge each other, look for blind spots, and pressure-test every idea, because good ones come out of a strong debate.

And it's exactly how they're tackling their current focus: an AI transformation, figured out in the open and still very much in motion.

Mike Yan
Mike Yan, Co-founder, CEO

Mike turned a single 2015 automation script into the company Manychat is today. He makes the hard calls through honest, intense debate, keeps communication open so nobody loses context, and balances high expectations with trust, fun, and genuine human connection.

Chief Operating & Technology Officer
Dmitry Kushnikov
Dmitry Kushnikov, Chief Operating & Technology Officer

Dmitry brings two decades in tech to Manychat, three CTO roles, and a startup he co-founded before this. Here, he joined as a backend developer and grew into running the entire R&D org and the COO seat, and still cares as much about the user's experience as the code behind it. His take on great teams is simple: give people real freedom and real responsibility, and they'll outperform.

Chief Financial Officer
Gene Fetisov
Gene Fetisov, Chief Financial Officer

Gene built his career across finance, infrastructure, and McKinsey — and leads like a football coach: hire self-sufficient players, align on what matters, then trust them to win the match. Expect direct feedback, real ownership of your work, and a leader who wants you to find genuine meaning in it. He’s a “roll-up-the-sleeves” strategic partner who zooms out on strategy and zooms in on execution.

Chief Marketing Officer
Ido Mart
Ido Mart, Chief Marketing Officer

A serial GTM leader, author and speaker who’s built and led some of the most innovative PLG marketing teams in the industry. Ido is known to make new rules for marketing and then break them, which comes at no surprise to his ragtag troupe of trouble-seeking, equestrian cult-members colleagues.

Chief Product Officer
Ingrid Bernaudin
Ingrid Bernaudin, Chief Product Officer

Ingrid has spent the last decade building products and teams at Apartment List, Gusto, and Uber. She leads on "kind, not nice": honest because she cares, direct because you deserve it, no cushioning — and she expects the same in return. She'll fight hard on the ideas themselves, commit fully once the call is made, and hold a high bar precisely because she believes you can clear it.

Lu Borko
Lu Borko, Chief of Staff

Lu spent nearly five years at Intercom running business operations for the CTO and CPO before joining Manychat. She's the engine behind how the exec team actually runs: annual and quarterly planning, the OKR process, and the cross-functional projects that keep the whole company pointed in one direction.
