FRDM Founder Justin Dillon and our CEO, Zubin Appoo discuss WiseTech's acquisition of FRDM and the fight against forced labour in global supply chains in a new Forbes article by Afdhel Aziz published today.

VerifyWise combines FRDM's forced labour and modern slavery data with the compliance and trade data WiseTech already operates at scale, giving companies a live view of supplier risk rather than an annual declaration.

Justin Dillon's FRDM helps companies see forced labor risk deep in their supply chains. Born in a nonprofit, its sale now sends money back to frontline groups.

Meet Carmen 👋 She moved to Australia knowing nothing about international trade, no contacts, no experience, just curiosity.

She started in an entry-level freight role, discovered a love for customs and biosecurity, and studied through WiseTech Academy to turn that interest into a career as a Licensed Customs Broker.

"The combination of practical experience and study is incredibly powerful, and the effort is definitely worth it." 🌱

Our CEO Zubin Appoo is a firm believer in the power of education.

So, when the NSW Department of Education invited him to join its Alumni Ambassador Program and revisit the two Western Sydney schools that shaped his early years, Zubin jumped at the chance.

Addressing primary students at Blacktown South Public School, Zubin spoke about the important role teachers play and encouraged the kids to make the most of every moment, to challenge themselves and say yes to opportunities that come their way.

At Girraween High School, where he graduated in 1998, Zubin discussed skills that outlast any job title.

“School isn't really about the subjects,” he told them, “It’s about learning how to think, solve problems and work well with other people.”

Thank you to the Department as well as the teachers, staff and students at Blacktown South and Girraween High for hosting a memorable visit.

The public-school ambassador and WiseTech CEO, Zubin Appoo, inspires curious minds at Blacktown South Public School and Girraween High School.

This month, we welcomed the 2026 Earn & Learn cohort to WiseTech. 👋

From day one, they are working on real-world engineering challenges in an AI-first environment, building both the technical foundations and practical capability needed to operate at scale.

This reflects how software engineering is evolving: AI is not a future skill, but a core part of how systems are designed, built and improved from the start. It’s also a reminder that expected skillsets continue to evolve throughout our careers.

Through Earn & Learn, we’re developing that capability early and setting them up for the future.
