Shiperoo has appointed two of Australia’s most successful online entrepreneurs, Gabby and Hezi Leibovich, to its board.

With extensive experience in e-commerce and a shared passion for sustainability, Gabby and Hezi join Shiperoo founders, Nishan Wijemanne and Rizan Mawzoon to work towards their mission to revolutionise the reCommerce landscape.

Wijemanne said Gabby and Hezi bring a wealth of experience and a forward-thinking mindset that aligns Shiperoo’s mission to address the growing challenges of returns, end-of-season stock, and excess inventory, while preventing waste from ending up in landfills.

“Their track record of building successful online businesses and their commitment to tackling the pressing issues of excess stock and waste in the e-commerce industry make them invaluable additions to our board. Combining their knowledge and skillsets with ours creates an enviable combination to tackle this growing industry problem head-on,” he said.

Since emigrating to Australia in 1986, Gabby and Hezi have co-founded and led multiple successful online businesses including Catch of the Day, Scoopon and Eatnow (now Menulog). The duo will build on Shiperoo’s returns strategies by designing and introducing the new reCommerce arm, contributing to environmental sustainability and creating new revenue opportunities for retailers.

This reCommerce initiative will span a wide range of retail categories including fashion apparel, footwear, consumables, beauty, homeware, electronics and more. Consumers will soon enjoy savings and access to retail products through this initiative.

“We have known Nish and Riz for a while now, so we know what we’re in for, that our values align and how we can complement their existing skillset. We are excited to join them and work towards a future where the retail returns and reCommerce space can thrive without contributing to waste,” Gabby said.

“Hezi and I believe that by leveraging technology, innovation, and new processes, we can create a more sustainable and efficient approach to managing returns and excess stock. The reCommerce space is filled with untapped potential. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we can reduce waste and drive profitability for retailers. We look forward to tackling these challenges head-on with the two of them.”
