Holly Dresden joined Shopify as head of enterprise merchant success in December after six years with Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

☆ Shopify is making moves to woo multimillion-dollar businesses. It's a big change to its identity as a small business champion it established during the pandemic.

With the move to Commerce Components, Shopify could target merchants with sales that are more in the $500 million range, Wong said. For Commerce Components, Shopify has already partnered with Mattel, which generated nearly $5.5 billion in sales for 2021. For a subscription fee, Shopify merchants get access to tools to build an online store, ship out products, and process payments. To convince large retailers to use its product, Shopify must show them it has an edge over legacy software platforms. At the same time, it has launched other products, like its advertising product Shopify Audiences, that are available only to larger merchants using Shopify Plus.
☆ Baird downgrades Salesforce, says leadership changes and companies cutting jobs will hurt the stock
  + stars: | 2022-12-08 | by ( Alex Harring | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Salesforce could struggle with new leadership in a macro environment that's more difficult to traverse, according to Baird. Analyst Rob Oliver downgraded the stock to neutral from outperform and slashed his target to $150 from $200. "We believe the combination of macro headwinds and seat-based software pressure (driven by recent workforce cuts/hiring slowdown) could pressure revenue growth near term," Oliver said in a note to clients. Salesforce also stands to gain from increased interest in cloud marketing, he said, through acquisitions of Radian6, BuddyMedia and DemandWare. Increased competition through public cloud companies are emerging vendors in more specialized offerings could also hurt the stock.
