Founder & Managing Director, Populis
Rohilesh (Roh) Singh is a world-class growth architect, international business leader, and executive coach who has spent over twenty-five years transforming corporate performance across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. As the Founder and Managing Director of Populis, Roh acts as the definitive bridge between high-level corporate strategy and operational front-line execution capability.
Roh’s professional philosophy is rooted in a rare, dual heritage: he is a highly analytical corporate governance expert who has sat on major executive transformation boards, paired with a high-growth operator who has personally run a ... multinational P&L. Prior to expanding Populis into a premier enterprise advisory firm, Roh masterminded some of the telecommunications and technology sectors' most iconic commercial expansions. As Senior Director for Asia-Pacific and Managing Director for Indonesia at BlackBerry, he scaled regional revenue from $750M to $3 Billion annually, building a massive multi-channel ecosystem of 10,000+ accredited retail points across 12 countries, and capturing a historic 54% market share. Locally, as National General Manager for the Telstra Shop Network, Roh commanded a national workforce of 1,800 personnel, overhauling the brand's physical customer experience journey to earn the #1 industry CX ranking while doubling sales portfolio velocity to AU$1.5 Billion.
Through Populis, Roh has transitioned this multi-billion-dollar operational background into elite enterprise consulting models. He has partner-led boards and C-suite cohorts across a wide corporate spectrum—helping executives within the top 100 Australian companies and hundreds of medium-sized organisations eliminate cultural friction and unlock operational velocity. A master of commercial execution, Roh has co-developed specialised sales performance architectures alongside global leaders like Miller Heiman and Mercury, and personally collaborated with legendary sales authority Tom Hopkins to build end-to-end commercial systems that activate intrinsic motivation, sharpen strategic selling, and drive transactional closing excellence on the front line.
Roh holds a Graduate credential from the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD), where he achieved the elite Order of Merit, placing within the Top 2% globally of corporate directors. As a prominent authority on performance science, he is an internationally sought-after keynote speaker, a University Fellow at Western Sydney University, and the author of the best-selling mental wellness and human high performance text, Rise Warrior Rise: Awaken Your Soul. His diagnostic methodologies and digital platforms are currently utilised as a compulsory syllabus anchor in the business schools of Macquarie University and Western Sydney Business Schools.
