Written by Jonathan Ponciano for The Motley Fool->

Tamari Shahar sold 28,623 directly held common shares on June 26, 2026, generating proceeds of approximately $1.03 million at around $36.02 per share.

This transaction represented 0.7% of Shahar’s direct holdings, as reported, reducing the position to 3,956,685 shares post-sale, including RSUs.

No indirect holdings were impacted; activity was limited to direct ownership of the common stock, with no derivative or trust entities involved.

Global-E (NASDAQ:GLBE), a cross-border e-commerce platform, reported a sale of common shares by its Chief Operating Officer, reflecting ongoing portfolio adjustments by company leadership, according to an SEC Form 4 filing.

Global-E operates at scale within the specialty retail sector, leveraging a proprietary platform to simplify and accelerate cross-border e-commerce for merchants. The company’s strategy centers on enabling seamless international transactions, removing barriers for both merchants and shoppers. Its competitive advantage lies in its robust global infrastructure and focus on direct-to-consumer enablement across major e-commerce regions.

Shahar has steadily trimmed his position through a series of sales since mid-May, and this latest 28,623-share transaction is his largest of the year. But it’s worth noting that the transaction reduced his direct stake by less than 1%, leaving him with nearly 4 million shares and another 1.49 million options, a clear sign that his financial interests remain closely tied to Global-E's long-term performance.The business itself continues to execute solidly. First quarter gross merchandise volume climbed 40% year over year to $1.74 billion, while revenue rose 33% to $252.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA jumped 59% to $50.2 million as margins expanded to 19.9%, prompting management to raise its full-year outlook for GMV, revenue, and adjusted EBITDA.CEO Amir Schlachet said strong momentum from both existing merchants and newly launched brands helped fuel the results, adding that the company remains "slightly ahead of plan" toward its long-term goals.For long-term investors, the bigger story is how this execution plays out. Shares have gained roughly 9% over the past year, which is roughly in line with the S&P 500’s gain. From here, Global-e's accelerating growth, expanding profitability, and higher guidance are likely to matter far more than a relatively modest insider sale that fits an established trading pattern.
