Esad Özkara

Data-driven Operations & Supply Chain Leader with over 5 years of experience scaling logistics, fleet management and last-mile delivery across dynamic, fast-paced environments. I specialize in identifying operational bottlenecks, implementing scalable systems and delivering measurable performance improvements. Currently, as an Area Manager at Knuspr (Rohlik Group) in Munich, I own end-to-end operational performance across inbound, fulfillment and last-mile coordination. Prior to this, I served as a Fleet Operations Lead at Bolt, where I successfully redesigned allocation logic to increase fleet utilization by 15% and significantly reduced vehicle downtime across multiple German cities. My operational expertise is backed by a diverse, global foundation. Having worked and studied across Germany, Kazakhstan, China and Turkey, I bring a strong cross-cultural perspective to stakeholder alignment and cross-functional leadership. My background includes driving logistics coordination at the BMW Group, managing full-cycle e-commerce operations on Etsy and gaining early supply chain experience in international trade and FMCG logistics. I am deeply passionate about process redesign, KPI visibility and operational forecasting. I thrive on taking full ownership of complex supply chain challenges and turning data insights into cost-efficient, sustainable growth.
