Samar Kohli

From enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations to integrating warehouse management (WMS), customer relationship management (CRM) and asset tracking solutions, Samar has built a reputation for connecting technology with practical business outcomes. He has led IT, business systems and customer service functions, replacing ageing platforms, standardising processes and delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, cost and revenue performance.

Throughout his career, Samar has championed a pragmatic approach to digital transformation, recognising that technology alone rarely solves business problems. He believes successful transformation requires clear accountability, effective governance, engaged teams and systems that genuinely support the way organisations operate.

His experience spans major organisations including Cochlear, Fonterra, Hewlett Packard, the Australian Department of Human Services and Waikato District Health Board. He has also delivered multi-site retail transformation programmes for T2 Tea and Baby Bunting, alongside operational and systems leadership assignments across manufacturing, food distribution and wholesale businesses. Working directly with business owners and executive leadership, Samar has delivered integrated technology solutions, improved operational controls and supported revenue growth while reducing operating costs.

At Ordinary World Innovations, Samar brings the perspective of an experienced technology and operations leader who understands how to translate digital strategy into practical execution. His expertise strengthens OWI's ability to support organisations with enterprise systems integration, digital transformation, asset management and operational improvement across multiple industries.
