Tobias Lütke has transformed Shopify into an e-commerce giant with a $145 billion market value, thanks to the popularity of its tools, which power online shopping functions for a huge range of sellers, from the shoe company Allbirds to ketchup maker Heinz. Inside Shopify, though, his intense and demanding leadership style has earned co-founder and CEO Lütke a nickname: Tobi the Tornado.
According to six people who have worked at Shopify, each of whom confirmed the moniker, Lütke's tempestuous behavior includes his tendency to swoop into team meetings unannounced and berate employees for proposals he doesn't like. A consultant Shopify hired to lead a mental health workshop recently even used Lütke's nickname during a discussion about workplace personalities, according to a person who was present in the session.

E-Commerce Darling Shopify Is a Great TSX Stock to Invest $5,000 in for the Next 20 Years
While there's no way to know for sure when this tech sell-off will end, I think it's wise to start doing some buying while many of the fastest growers are down double-digit percentage points. Many outstanding growth stocks are now down over 30% from their peak levels. You wouldn't know there would be such pain being felt by such names by just looking at the TSX Index , though!
If you're a self-guided stock picker, I think it's a smart idea to dollar-cost average (DCA) your way into a full position in your favourite high growers over time. Using a DCA method can help ease the pain that comes with catching fast-falling knives. If a plunging stock falls further into the abyss, you'll relish the opportunity to buy even more shares. Moreover, the DCA strategy also takes market timing right out of the equation.

'Not a family': Shopify CEO tells staff the company will focus on business, not solving social
Shopify's CEO is pushing back on the notion that his company should be at the forefront of corporate activism and reminded employees of their role at the business.
"It should be massively obvious that Shopify is not a family but I see people, even leaders, casually use terms like 'Shopifam' which will cause the members of our teams (especially junior ones that have never worked anywhere else) to get the wrong impression," he added.
