@tobi @Shopify “Did canada just win something, or did everyone just lose?”
Hey buddy, You’re the only company in canada that made it. Your leadership is needed now, Unfortunately it’s a lot of responsibility but there is “no one” else.

@rauchg @jdewitt29 Jeanne's track record at Stripe and Vercel is unmatched. Shopify getting someone who actually understands the developer-commerce intersection is a massive win.

@tobi @Shopify Idea: the board should have one merchant/partner on a 1 or 2yr capped stint to "represent the people".
