320: Going Inside The Mind of Anthony Miller
Anthony Miller is a logistics technology expert and prominent industry commentator known for his insightful analysis on LinkedIn. With a background in marketing and M&A at WiseTech Global, he possesses deep knowledge of customs, compliance, and freight forwarding software. Miller shares that he began his online commentary to challenge what he saw as a self-congratulatory and superficial industry narrative. He is critical of the 'grow by acquisition' strategy common among software providers, arguing it often fails to create truly integrated platforms and can degrade product quality post-acquisition.
