Chief People Officer
Nearly a decade ago, Samsara set out to transform the world’s physical operations. Today, we’re proud to be recognized on Fortune’s 2024 Change the World list! This honor highlights companies making a positive social impact as part of their core business strategy. The judges evaluated our social impact, business results, innovation, and corporate integration.
Physical operations drive 40% of global GDP, powered by frontline workers representing 80% of the global workforce. Samsara innovation is elevating operations and frontline work to be safer, more efficient, and more environmentally sustainable—helping communities and the world operate smarter.
Samsara’s Platform is rapidly unlocking unrealized insights and driving meaningful improvements for our customers and their frontline workers. In partnership with our customers, Samsara helped prevent an estimated 200,000+ crashes, digitize 265M+ workflows, and reduce CO2 by roughly 3B pounds over one year.
Below are just a few stories of how Samsara helps customers strengthen their operations by giving frontline workers and managers greater visibility into the critical data of their operations—increasing safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability:
Rasmussen deployed Samsara AI Dash Cams to develop a comprehensive safety program. As a result, Rasmussen has decreased mobile usage while driving by 90%, speeding and running stop signs by 70%, and backup incidents by 25%.
“Our drivers operate in high-risk, unpredictable environments. That’s why it’s so important to change behavior in the moment. The AI technology powering in-cab alerts helps us proactively improve driver awareness and safety.” — Tim Janssen, Chief Operations Officer.
DeSilva Gates has saved $2.3M annually by preventing equipment delays through Samsara. Asset Tags add a layer of protection to their most high-value assets and provide comprehensive tracking of smaller, previously untracked equipment—not only deterring theft but also improving inventory management.
“Asset Tag allows us to reinforce existing location tracking on our high-value assets and, for the first time, add tracking to smaller assets that we couldn't track before.” — Rich Poppoff, Equipment Superintendent.
Accurate and accessible data allows their dispersed organization to make progress toward their goals—using insights from Samsara, Sobeys saved 46,000 gallons of diesel, leading to a savings of 469 metric tons of carbon emissions in four months.
“Samsara helps us take concrete actions today on how we can be more sustainable, work to cut waste, and be better corporate citizens tomorrow.” — Rob Tostowaryk, Vice President, Distribution, Western Canada Sobeys.
Samsara is set on its mission to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of physical operations. Our incredible team, culture, and innovative technology will continue to change the world. We will welcome thousands of new builders and innovators to Samsara in the years to come and transform the lives of thousands more of our customers.
