Our Story

As a leading distributor with over 20 years of experience helping drive value for our partners, vendors, end customers and the channel, Expertise that Empowers is at the heart of what we do.

Our Heritage

rhipe began as NewLease, having been founded by Doug Tutus and Dawn Edmonds in Melbourne in 2003. Together they realised there was an opportunity to deliver industry-leading solutions directly to Partners via a modern distribution channel. 

Over the years, the business has grown rapidly in terms of the diversity of our products and programs, service offerings, vendors in our portfolio, our geographic locations and our people. We now employ almost 600 staff across 10 countries. We are constant learners, focused on continuing to grow our deep domain knowledge across all segments. 

We have also made several acquisitions during this time, with the most recent being SmartEncrypt (2019), Parallo (2020) and emt Distribution (2021), enriching the breadth of offerings and value we deliver to our Partners. 

In November 2021, rhipe was acquired by Crayon, a leading IT advisory firm in software and digital transformation services, with more than 3,300 employees in 40 offices worldwide. rhipe is now a fully owned subsidiary of Crayon and is a significant contributor to its fastest-growing region Asia Pacific.  

Our Culture

Our Culture

We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and in which we all work together towards common goals. Our people are our greatest strength. Every single person at rhipe makes a valuable contribution, bringing new perspectives, skills and ideas that help shape who we are.

We believe that the development of teamwork and collaborative behaviours is essential to our success and enjoyment of our careers at rhipe. A culture of teamwork gives our business a competitive advantage.

Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity & Inclusion

Our incredible growth over the last few years has made us a diverse and therefore strong team. We leverage this diversity to innovate, problem solve and find solutions.

As a global company, we are committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce with equal opportunities for all. Our One Team Cultural Council is made up of a cohort of rhipe employees from across the business, who are collectively driving initiatives to create an environment where people can be themselves and thrive.
