OTTAWA (REUTERS) - Three of e-commerce platform Shopify's seven top executives will be leaving the company in the coming months, chief executive officer and founder of Canada's most valuable company Tobi Lutke said in a blog post on Wednesday (April 14). The company's chief talent officer, chief legal officer and chief technology officer will all transition out of their roles, Mr Lutke said, adding that they have been "spectacular and deserve to take a bow." "Each one of them has their individual reasons but what was unanimous with all three was that this was the best for them and the best for Shopify," he said. The trio follow the departure of Craig Miller, chief product officer, in September. Mr Lutke took on the role in addition to CEO. Shopify, which provides infrastructure for online stores, has seen its valuation soar in the last year as many businesses went virtual during Covid-19 lockdowns. It has a market cap valuation of C$182.7 billion (S$195 billion), above Canada's top lender Royal Bank of Canada. It is Canada's biggest homegrown tech success story, founded in 2006 and supporting over one million businesses globally, according to the company. "We have a phenomenally st...

Singapore firms keen to use new EDB Tech.Pass scheme to boost talent pool

SINGAPORE - When cyber protection company Acronis wanted to grow the team for its research and development centre here last year, it targeted locals. But when it could not hire enough with the required know-how, the Singapore-based firm tapped the Tech @ SG programme, which provides for more flexible requirements for foreign professionals to secure an Employment Pass (EP). The programme, jointly administered by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and Enterprise Singapore, endorses EP applications to the Manpower Ministry (MOM). Acronis is now eyeing another EDB initiative - the Tech.Pass - while hiring and training more locals. Unlike an EP, foreign professionals with the new work pass are free to choose who they work for. "We could definitely use Tech.Pass to recruit the best people and expand our engineering team - the new scheme provides certain flexibility to the holder, since it's not tied to one company," Acronis' co-founder and Technology President Stanislav Protassov told The Straits Times. Many tech companies here like Acronis say it has been difficult to secure enough top-tier talent to grow their Singapore workforce and boost capabilities. EDB says Tech.Pass, ...

What's the story In a bid to raise its attractiveness to top-tier foreign tech talent, Singapore is launching a new work pass next year called Tech.Pass, which will be valid for two years and have the option to be renewed once for another two years. Pass holders can start and operate a business, serve on the board of directors of a Singapore-based company or be a shareholder or investor in companies here. They can also take up lecturing roles in institutes of higher learning, serve as a mentor or adviser to companies here, and conduct corporate training. Applications for it will start in January, and for a start, 500 places will be available when it is launched. Candidates for Tech.Pass must meet various criteria to show that they are high-level professionals in the tech industry. Renewal has stringent requirements too. The Economic Development Board will administer Tech.Pass, with the support of the Ministry of Manpower. Tech.Pass builds on the Tech@SG programme, which was introduced last year and which spells out more flexible requirements for foreign professionals to apply for an Employment Pass (EP) that applies to those with a fixed monthly salary of at least $4,500.
