Hamish McKay is the Co-founder and CEO of Order Editing, the Shopify app helping brands increase revenue post-purchase without compromising customer experience. Known for his sharp wit and no-BS take on tech, Hamish blends startup grit with a marketer’s instinct — building tools that quietly power some of the biggest names in eCommerce. When he’s not scaling growth for merchants, he’s navigating the fine line between productivity and “brain rot” on Instagram, collecting receipts (literally), and occasionally featuring in YouTube exposés with millions of views.
