}}Obi Ozor (born April 7, 1989) is a Nigerian entrepreneur. He is the CEO and Co-founder of Kobo360. Kobo360 is Nigeria's first e-logistics and trucking platform.[1]

Education

Ozor is an alumnus of Sacred Heart Seminary Nsude, where he completed his Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination in 2008. Afterward he went to University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a B.A in International Relations.

Career

At age 21, Ozor started his first venture in the logistics space as a fleet owner and importer of Fast-Moving Consumer goods into Nigeria. He hired a number of his classmates at Upenn to serve in different roles to ensure the success of Bezmo Global up until 2014. He graduated from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania and went to work as an Investment Banker at J.P.Morgan head office in New York.

Burning with the desire to solve the logistics needs he faced in Bezmo Global as an Importer, he teamed up with this Tech savvy classmate at the University of Michigan and decided to plan a return to his country Nigeria.[2]

In 2015, Ozor resigned from J.P.Morgan to join Uber Africa as an Operations Coordinator for Uber Nigeria, where he created operational processes which were very instrumental in scaling Uber across Nigeria.

In 2016, Ozor and Ife Oyedele ll launched a beta test of Kobo360 in the last mile eCommerce delivery space, where they serviced top eCommerce players including Jumia.

In 2017, Ozor and Ife Oyedele ll, moved a little further up the logistics value chain and focused solely on digital haulage, “Uber for Trucks” where they have been working on setting up Africa’s Global Logistics Operating System (G-LOS).[3][4] Since 2018, Kobo has been powering the logistics of companies including Unilever, DHL, Olam, Flour Mills of Nigeria, Honeywell, Sinoma, and hundreds of other growth companies across Nigeria and West Africa.[5]
