(Reuters) -Australian logistics software maker WiseTech Global on Monday said it named its chief of staff, Zubin Appoo, as its permanent chief executive, to replace interim CEO Andrew Cartledge.
The company’s co-founder and long-serving chief executive, Richard White, stepped down last October, following media reports of allegations about his personal life.
Cartledge, who was the chief financial officer, was appointed interim CEO following White’s exit.
Appoo has been with WiseTech for about 15 years, most recently as chief of staff and deputy chief innovation officer, a role he was appointed to in April.
His appointment as CEO is effective immediately, and Cartledge will remain with the company till his retirement at the end of calendar 2025, the company said.
