DETROIT, December 8, 2021 — StockX today announced the appointment of its newest board member and Audit Committee Chair, Robin Washington. Washington will be an essential advisor to StockX as the company continues to expand internationally, strategically diversify its catalog, and cement its position as the trusted global platform for consuming and trading current culture.
Washington, a greater Detroit native, is a renowned industry leader with deep experience as an advisor for tech and life science companies. She served as executive vice president and CFO at Gilead Sciences for almost 12 years, where she oversaw the global finance, facilities and operations, investor relations and IT organizations.

“As a Detroit native, I’ve long been inspired by StockX — its roots in community, commitment to culture, and incredible global expansion are just a few of the reasons the company has been able to fundamentally change how people consume and trade around the world,” said Washington. “It is a true privilege to join the Board of Directors. In addition to bringing my experience scaling global businesses and pushing the limits of technology to bear for StockX, I’m also committed to helping them foster a diverse, inclusive and innovation-focused culture for years to come.”
