On 3 November 2026 Canva CEO Melanie Perkins announced organisational changes affecting 1,271 people, or 22% of staff. The company is merging Product, Growth and Platform into one Product organisation, reducing subspecialties and layers, and moving more product teams to Sydney. Departing employees receive at least six months’ pay plus career support; Canva calls this its hardest year in a decade and cites slower growth.

What it means: Canva is a daily tool for SMEs, agencies and creators in Greece. The ‘refounding’ after a first growth slowdown in a decade shows pressure from AI design tools and a push for faster product decisions. Customers may see roadmap and support-contact shifts, though no service shutdown was announced. Centralising more work in Sydney could affect European support time zones. Greek marketing teams should review Enterprise contracts and integrations over the next quarter. For Greek businesses and public bodies this means a practical review of contracts, timelines and compliance duties, and it is not investment or legal advice. IT, finance and compliance teams should document owners, review cycles and fallback processes before wider adoption or a vendor change.
