A New Chapter in Leadership

After 12 years of visionary leadership, our founder, Zakir Daud, is transitioning to the role of Chief Vision Officer (CVO). Zakir, who started Eazi-Business from his dining table, will now focus on shaping our future alongside our dynamic leadership team.

We're excited to welcome Priyesh Vaghjiani as our new CEO. As one of our most successful licensees, Priyesh brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success.

Zakir Daud, Founder and new CVO, comments: "With our strengthened leadership and enhanced resources, we're poised for unprecedented growth and impact in the digital marketing landscape."

 

A Unique Perspective: From Partner to CEO

Priyesh brings a wealth of experience as a successful Eazi-Business partner of 6.5 years. "What attracted me initially was the technology and team support," Priyesh shares. "But honestly, it was Zak's vision that truly brought me on board."

His journey from partner to CEO exemplifies the potential of the Eazi-Business model. Priyesh's own success story - scaling his agency to consistent six-figure annual revenue and securing large institutional clients - serves as a powerful example of what's possible with Eazi-Business.

"Our focus will be on three key areas: partner acquisition, retention, and success," Priyesh explains. "We aim to more than double our partner network in the next five years while fostering true success stories within our community."

 

Enhancing Our Capabilities: Welcome to Nitin Patel

We're thrilled to welcome Nitin Patel as the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Eazi-Business. Nitin brings with him a powerhouse of 175 developers, significantly boosting our ability to offer custom solutions.

Nitin shares his vision: "Joining Eazi-Business is an exciting opportunity to revolutionise how we approach digital solutions for SMEs. Our team's expertise in custom development will enable Eazi-Business partners to offer advanced business-class solutions that were previously out of reach for many small businesses. We're not just adding services; we're opening new markets and possibilities for our entire network."

This addition marks an exciting expansion in our service offerings. We're now poised to provide custom app development, high-performance websites, advanced Shopify stores, and tailored enterprise solutions. These new capabilities will allow our partners to take on larger, more complex projects, opening up new avenues for growth.

"With our enhanced development resources, we're enabling our partners to say 'yes' to a wider range of client needs," Priyesh notes. "This, combined with our culture of innovation and support, sets us apart in the digital marketing franchise landscape."

 

Our leadership team continues to include industry veterans:

Charles Keys (MD): With 10 years at Eazi-Business, Charles brings a wealth of experience. He states, "Our strengthened leadership and enhanced capabilities position us perfectly to meet the evolving needs of businesses in the digital age. I'm excited about the innovative solutions we'll bring to market."

Ilya Nasedkin (Creative Director): A decade of creative excellence has given Ilya deep insights into our business. He shares, "This new chapter allows us to push the boundaries of creativity in digital marketing. We're set to deliver even more impactful, innovative solutions for our partners and their clients.

Richard Dowman (Network Director): As a former licensee, Richard understands our partners' needs intimately. He adds, "Having been on both sides of our business, I'm thrilled about the expanded opportunities these changes bring to our network. We're equipping our partners with the tools and support they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world."

The Digital Marketing Imperative

In today's digital-first world, businesses need a strong online presence more than ever:

• Global digital ad spend is projected to reach $645 billion by 2024 (Statista, 2021)
• 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine (Search Engine Journal, 2021)
• 72% of consumers who did a local search visited a store within five miles (HubSpot, 2022)

Success Stories

We have countless partners operating successful, thriving businesses. For example: “We have countless partners running successful businesses. Take one of our partners, Neil, for example: ‘Starting my business with Eazi-Business was fantastic. They set everything up for me. Without their support, I might’ve ended up buying an existing business instead of building my own. I was provided with all the tools I needed right from the start. Honestly, I wouldn’t be here five years later without them.’ Watch Neil’s full story in this video.” You can watch their full story in this video here.

 

Our Commitment to Community
