Globe says Shopify CEO feeling "very lucky right now"

2015-05-22 08:52 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, May 22, edition that Shopify chief executive officer Tobias Lutke woke up on Thursday $100-million richer. The Globe's Sean Silcoff writes that Mr. Lutke says, "I am feeling very, very lucky right now." He says: "The only time in the last year where I've thought about this is when I read The Globe, talking about my net worth. It is not something that motivates me, so I don't particularly care about money. I care about working on interesting problems and Shopify is this gift that keeps on giving for working on interesting problems with amazing people. I know that sounds like something like a PR agency would put together, but this is the way I think about it in reality." He says: "We have a lot of really great companies in Canada and I think there's always been this fear that great in Canada doesn't mean great on a world stage. We need more self-confidence. We are building incredibly good businesses with incredibly good people, being loyal, dedicating themselves to solving important problems." Mr. Lutke says: "Canada just needs to tell people: You know what? The best way to do it is just be in front of people and get out there and do this sort of thing."
