Zain Abiddin I help teams build repeatable growth engines.
I’m a product and growth leader who has spent my career building and scaling subscription businesses.
At Canva, I led subscription growth initiatives as the company scaled past $3B in ARR, working across pricing, packaging, retention, payments, and monetization. Before that, I worked at Shopify and have advised companies including Jotform on growth.
Today, I’m the founder of GrowthPad, where I work with growth leaders and operators to turn messy growth problems into clear, repeatable systems.
My workshops are built around practical frameworks, real company examples, and the lessons I wish I had when making these decisions inside high-growth companies.
