The Watson Weekly - Your Essential eCommerce Digest

May 12th, 2025: Shopify Needs Incentive Alignment to Win in Enterprise, 3 Notables From BigCommerce earnings call, Instacart CEO Departs for OpenAI, and Shopify Reports Solid Earnings Amid Global Uncertainty


Listen Later

In this week’s Watson Weekly, we will discuss Fidji Simo is out at Instacart CEO to join OpenAI.  This is a huge feather in Simo’s cap and leaves an opening at Instacart which I predict will be filled by their Chief Product Officer Daniel Danker. Not only did Danker and Simo overlap from their time at Facebook, but Danker was promoted by Simo into his current role as Chief Product Officer.  

You’ll find this and other stories every Monday morning on the Watson Weekly, headed straight to your earhole wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

  • Shopify Needs Incentive Alignment to Win in Enterprise
