WiseTech appoints Raelene Murphy to board, targets 'one or more' new directors
The news: WiseTech has appointed Raelene Murphy to its board as an additional independent non-executive director, effective 1 January 2026.
The context: Murphy currently serves as an independent non-executive director at Bega Cheese and Tabcorp. She was previously a managing director at accounting firm KordaMentha and CEO of Delta Group, after holding senior executive roles at Mars Group.
WiseTech said its board is continuing to consider additional director candidates with a view to appointing "one or more" additional independent non-executive directors in the future.
Four of WiseTech’s six-person board resigned in February over founder Richard White’s continued involvement with the business.
In March, WiseTech announced the addition of Chris Charlton and Andrew Harrison to the board. In June, the company appointed Sandra Hook and Rob Castaneda to the board, and announced the departure of long-servicing directors Charles Gibbon and Michael Gregg.
