He's technical. She's commercial. Same team. Opposite expertise. Deal after deal.

It's rare to meet someone who's as thorough as Barbs. She does impeccable research, has fanatical drive, and is as tenacious as they come. An absolute sponge for information, she's always asking questions to help understand the complexities of today's fast-moving commerce ecosystem. I always got a kick out of working with her, and I'm sure she'll excel in her next chapter.

At Shopify, the loudest endorsements don't come from your manager. They come from your peers. Sari and Imran posted this to nearly 500 internal teammates.
Got Trust?
"Huge shout out to @Barbarella for helping Launch reset the conversation... Barb used her relationship to help realign the project at launch, after the merchant team started going beyond the original scope."
Sari Eldadah · Sr. Lead of Technology Services, Shopify
"She drove full steam ahead, arranged and led the realignment meeting…Without Barbara stepping in and proactively supporting the launch, this could have been a launch filled with merchant escalations and negative experiences..."
