WISETECH Global has announced the appointment of Katrina Johnson to the newly created role of chief governance officer and group corporate secretary.
The appointment is said to mark “a further important step in the evolution of the company’s governance framework”.
“As a dedicated senior governance position, this role will continue to provide executive leadership for the continued strengthening of governance across the Group,” the company said in a statement.
“Katrina will continue to report directly to the board and CEO and to lead WiseTech’s corporate governance and regulatory affairs team.”
Meanwhile, general counsel Damien Sullivan has been appointed as an alternate company secretary of the company, succeeding co-founder and executive director Maree Isaacs, who is retiring from that function.
The changes to the roles are effective immediately, WiseTech stated.
The appointment comes just over two weeks before the company’s annual meeting, which is scheduled for Friday 27 November.
It promises to be a relatively staid event after ASIC announced back in August that founder Richard White and two other company employees were no longer under investigation.
Mr White stepped down as company chair in July this year, saying that media focus on his personal life had become an “unnecessary distraction”.
Mr White became emotional during last year’s AGM, but also argued the company had increased its reach significantly and was “more innovative, more global and more deeply embedded in the world’s logistics processes and supply chains than ever before”.
