In the heart of Toronto, Canada, at the esteemed Michelin Guide Sara Restaurant, an incredible evening unfolded celebrating women in digital. Co-hosted by Forter and Shopify, the Women in Digital Michelin Dining Experience was more than just a gathering; it was a vibrant celebration of women’s remarkable achievements and contributions in digital commerce.
A Partnership Rooted in Empowerment
Together, Forter and Shopify empower merchants to combat fraud and maximize customer lifetime value. Through Shopify, high-growth merchants can seamlessly integrate Forter’s platform into their ecosystem.
But our partnership is more than a technical integration — it’s rooted in fostering a supportive, inclusive community and building trust in the digital marketplace.
It was an honor to amplify this shared mission during Shopify’s 2024 Summit, commemorating its 20th anniversary as Shopify’s Head of Enterprise Sales, Kimberly Seabrook, joined Forter’s Ghislaine Sefrioui, Director of Product, and esteemed guests, including mutual customers Emily Shi, Senior Product Manager at Mejuri, and Kaitlyn Johns, Director of Digital Product at Glossier.
The partnership between Shopify and Forter is a testament to the strength and potential of collaboration. When you fill a room with strong women leaders in commerce, you create an unstoppable force for innovation and progress.”
— Kimberly Seabrook, Head of Enterprise Sales at Shopify
