Shopify President: Harley Finkelstein – Democratising Entrepreneurship, Empowering Founders, & the Tools That Build Global Businesses

The Gstaad Guy sits down with Harley Finkelstein, President of Shopify and one of the most influential voices in modern entrepreneurship, to discuss how technology is redefining capitalism by empowering anyone, anywhere, to start and scale a business. From equipping first-time founders to run their own stores, to enabling global brands to reach millions, Harley shares how Shopify is democratising opportunity and lowering the cost of failure, making entrepreneurship more accessible than ever before. The conversation explores the ambition required to build at scale, the obsession with sharpening one’s craft, and the emotional reality of operating a business that spans borders, cultures, and time zones. Harley reflects on the future of entrepreneurship, the rise of young business builders, and why success today is no longer defined by access, but by the courage to create. An exploration of how entrepreneurship and modern commerce have become powerful engines for empowerment, creativity, and self-actualisation. Filmed at Casa Cipriani New York’s Battery Corner Suite.
