Tobias Lütke Biography
Tobias Lütke, who currently serves as the CEO of Shopify, has been a notable figure in the tech industry for many years. His leadership at Shopify, combined with a 40% voting interest through a two-class voting structure, has led to significant growth for the company, so much so that Shopify was listed as the "fastest growing company" in 2010. Apart from his role at Shopify, Lütke has made substantial contributions to the Canadian tech sector, earning him the Meritorious Service Cross in 2018.
His influence extends beyond Shopify, as evidenced by his active participation in other tech ventures. In 2021, Lütke invested $3 million in Creative Layer, a print-on-demand platform, demonstrating his ability to identify and support innovative tech solutions. Furthermore, his appointment to the board of directors of Coinbase in January 2022 underscores his gravitas and influence in the tech industry. He is also known for his contributions to the Ruby on Rails framework as part of its core team and the creation of open source libraries such as Active Merchant.
Not limited to just the technology sector, Lütke has diversified his interests by venturing into motorsports. In 2025, he took part in the IMSA SportsCar Championship driving in LMP2 for Era Motorsport. This participation in high-stakes, high-speed competition showcases his adventurous spirit and his ability to thrive under pressure, a trait that no doubt carries over into his leadership style at Shopify and other tech ventures.
