WiseTech's new CEO on recovering from scandal
About this episode
Zubin Appoo discusses recovering WiseTech from scandal and the impact of AI on the industry.
WiseTech Global is one of Australia's great technology success stories, running CargoWise, the operating system for global trade. But in recent years it's been engulfed in scandal amid grave allegations against founder and former CEO Richard White, which he strenuously denies. On top of that, the company's facing a changing tech and trade landscape thanks to AI. WiseTech's new(ish) CEO Zubin Appoo talks through how to pull a company out of a crisis, and debates whether artificial intelligence will change the game - just like the internet did for Alan's old newspaper jobs. Zubin Appoo, CEO of WiseTech and Alan Kohler unpack it all on That's Business with Alan Kohler. Got a burning business question?
