About Me

Richard White founded software company WiseTech Global in 1994 to help logistics companies manage goods and information across supply chains. Since the company went public in 2016, WiseTech has been recording strong growth in revenue over the years, in part buoyed by acquisitions worldwide. Touted as Australia's next Atlassian, Sydney-based WiseTech has more than 17,000 customers in 193 countries. Its cloud-based logistics platform, CargoWise One, can automate dozens of steps. In late 2024, White resigned from WiseTech, after 30 years as CEO, following reports of personal scandals. But from February 2025, he has assumed the title of executive chair and chief innovation officer, a role with an initial ten-year tenure.
