Crafting commerce: meet Shopify’s newest board members, Lulu and Prashanth

Craft is the heart of Shopify. We’re a company founded by crafters, focused on a mission to make commerce better for everyone. Which makes us, well, outright delighted to introduce to our board of directors two exceptional crafters highly aligned to a world where commerce is a catalyst for innovation: Lulu Cheng Meservey and Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah.

We’re confident Lulu’s unapologetically bold approach to communications and Prashanth’s inspired dedication to building software and businesses will serve our merchants and Shopify incredibly well.

Their impressive resumes only scratch the surface. Keen to tap into their unique insights - and hot takes - Tobi talked with each of them about all things entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and the subtle art of defying convention to deeply connect with niche markets. These convos revealed not just extraordinary crafters, but visionary leaders poised to propel Shopify’s mission forward. Check ‘em out.
