Kerry Plowright - Managing Director

Kerry Plowright is the Managing Director of EWN. Kerry was previously an Army Officer before share farming in Central Queensland and then becoming involved in marketing and sales, Plowright has significant experience in the pursuit of meaningful social outcome. One of the original wildlife warriors, Kerry orchestrated, financed and managed numerous pro-active conservation efforts. During the first Gulf War Kerry flew a wildlife rescue team into Kuwait aboard US Marine helicopters as the Iraqi army fled north. This effort was in a bid to protect critically endangered estuary habitat threatened by oil slicks. Navigating terrain sewed with mines and cluster bombs he and his team successfully sourced and deployed oil booms across river mouths and harbour entrances protecting sensitive and endangered habitat.

In 1996 Kerry founded the ezimerchant business and was the first to offer an affordable, packaged ecommerce solution to small and medium business. Since then Kerry has helped thousands of business make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Internet and is arguably Australia’s leading authority on small business and the Internet. Kerry recently sold the ezimerchant business which is now the most widely used solution in Australia in addition to being sold in Japan, the USA and UK.
