TORONTO, Feb. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ - Jobber, the leading provider of operations
management software for home service businesses, today announced
that global finance veteran Amy
Shapero has been appointed to its board of directors as
Audit Committee Chair.
Shapero brings extensive finance, strategy, and operating
experience in mission-driven, high-growth companies developing
disruptive technology to level the playing field for small and
medium-sized businesses. She most recently served for nearly five
years as CFO at Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) (TSX: SHOP) ("Shopify"), a
leading global commerce company committed to supporting
entrepreneurship.
"Amy has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to building
technology solutions that have empowered millions of entrepreneurs,
and is passionate about the opportunity to bring her expertise to
the underserved home service category," said Sam Pillar, CEO and co-founder of Jobber. "We're
thrilled to welcome Amy to our Board as we continue our mission to
help the people in small business be successful and enter our next
phase of growth."
Shapero's technology experience spans commerce, financial
services, marketing, big data analytics, and machine learning. She
facilitated the building and expansion of Shopify's world-class
platform, which helps millions of entrepreneurs around the world
successfully manage their retail businesses. During her tenure as
CFO, the company grew its revenue by 8x to $5.6B to become one of the largest SaaS companies
in the world.
"My father was an entrepreneur in the trades, and after working
long, hard days, he'd come home at night and have to then deal with
the administrative tasks of running a business on pen and paper,"
said Shapero. "Jobber fills a critical gap in the home service
category and represents a huge opportunity to improve the lives of
hard-working entrepreneurs like my dad and the service experience
for homeowners across the globe. I'm delighted to join Jobber's
board of directors to help guide the company's strategic priorities
as it continues to scale."
Shapero's early career includes positions at top-tier
technology investment banking firm Goldman Sachs as well as
accounting and auditing positions at EY. She also served as Senior
Vice President of Strategy & Corporate Development at
DigitalGlobe and held the CFO role at both Sailthru and Betterment.
Shapero earned an MBA in finance from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and
a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in accounting from the University of Illinois.
The appointment marks the second independent seat added to
Jobber's Board. The company welcomed the former CEO of Constant
Contact, Gail Goodman, to its board
of directors in April 2021.
