Katy Cockrel
SVP & Head of Global Communications
Katy Cockrel is the SVP & Head of Global Communications at StockX where she oversees external and internal communications. As the first-ever communications hire at StockX in 2018, Katy built the department from the ground up as Vice President of Communications, and has evolved the brand’s story from a sneaker marketplace to a leading global resale platform.
She has over 15 years of experience in the communications field, and spent the better part of the past decade working with brands across leadership positions both in-house and at leading communications agencies.
She holds a dual B.A. in political science and public relations from Wayne State University. In September 2023, Katy was recognized as a PR Week 40 Under 40 honoree.
Favorite sneaker: Katy’s favorite sneaker of the moment is the Nike x Martine Rose Shox MR4. Her all-time favorite silhouette, however, is the Jordan 1 with a particular affinity for the Retro High Satin Shattered Backboard.
