Richard White

Richard White leads WiseTech Global as Founder and CEO, overseeing the company he built from a small Sydney software firm into the world's dominant provider of cloud logistics execution software. WiseTech's flagship platform, CargoWise, is used by 24 of the top 25 global freight forwarders and thousands of logistics companies worldwide to manage the complex process of moving goods across international borders — including customs declarations, freight booking, warehouse management, and regulatory compliance. CargoWise's competitive moat comes from its deeply embedded integration into logistics operations: it connects to customs authorities in 170+ countries, integrates with port and terminal systems, and handles the extraordinarily complex documentation required for international trade. Once a logistics company implements CargoWise, switching costs are immense because the platform becomes the operational backbone of their business. White has complemented organic product development with a prolific acquisition strategy, acquiring dozens of niche logistics software companies and integrating their capabilities into the CargoWise platform. Key stock drivers include CargoWise large global integrations (new enterprise customer wins), revenue per user growth, international customs and trade regulation complexity (which drives software demand), global trade volumes, logistics industry technology adoption, acquisition pipeline and integration, organic product development milestones, and Australian dollar exchange rate impact.
