Shopify’s APAC and Japan managing director Shaun Broughton leaves after eight years, days after EMEA head Deann Evans’ exit

Shaun Broughton, Shopify’s managing director for APAC and Japan, is leaving the company after eight years, less than a week after Deann Evans, its managing director for EMEA, announced her own departure after five years. Broughton said on LinkedIn that he built Shopify’s go-to-market team in the region when it was only a handful of people, and that APAC has since become one of the company’s fastest-growing regions. He plans to take time off with his family before deciding on his next move.
