“At StockX, we are firm believers in the notion that investment in community is as important as investment in operations. Damien’s knowledge and passion for developing high-growth company cultures will allow us to take our DE&I and social impact work to the next level, while also positioning the platform for the future,” Cutler said in a statement. “He brings a wealth of experience to the table, but equally as important, has a demonstrated history of turning passion into advocacy and action and I look forward to seeing that come to life at StockX.”
Prior to StockX, Hooper-Campbell spent more than 20 years in similar positions with massive companies including Google, Uber and Goldman Sachs. Hooper-Campbell’s most recent roles were with eBay and Zoom, where he served as chief diversity officer.
“StockX aims to empower everyone to connect to culture through their passions and I look forward to employing that ethos — one rooted in access and inclusivity — in our work through this new and ever important role,” Hooper-Campbell said in a statement. “Not only is this an opportunity for us to build on an already strong foundation across core areas like social impact and DE&I, but as a longtime sneaker collector and an avid user of the platform since 2016, I have first-hand experience as a customer and look forward to applying that lens to drive impact for the business and for the broader StockX community.”
