WiseTech Global’s billionaire founder Richard White has not signed the 10-year consultancy agreement announced by the company in October, and faces three new allegations of inappropriate conduct made since the board cleared him of bullying, harassment and intimidation three months ago.
Mr White was forced to resign as the software giant’s chief executive on October 24 after The Australian Financial Review, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age revealed he bought a $7 million Melbourne waterfront property for employee and former partner Christine Kontos; paid $2 million to settle a dispute with another lover; and had been accused by WiseTech director Christine Holman of intimidation in October 2019.
