StockX names new creative head
U.S. resale platform StockX announced on Monday the appointment of Daniel De Jesus Krueger to the role of vice president and head of creative.
In his new role, Krueger will lead the Michigan-based company's global creative direction, defining its brand ethos and its application through design, imagery, tone of voice, and overall storytelling, according to a press release.
An award-winning creative director with a career that spans over a decade across culture, sports, and music, Krueger joins StockX from entertainment group Fulwell Entertainment (formerly The Springhill Company, founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter), where he led creative, storytelling, and branding for "The Shop", the Emmy-nominated show co-created by Paul Rivera and Randy Mims.
Prior to that, Krueger led The Nike Brand Studio at Uninterrupted — a media company founded in 2014 by LeBron James and Maverick Carter — and oversaw work across the LeBron and Kobe brands as well as Sabrina Ionescu campaigns. Before that, he served at Laundry Service (now Wasserman), where he led art direction for T-Mobile's partnership with MLB and helped launch House of Hoops, a collaboration between Foot Locker and Nike.
During his career, the creative has also worked on projects with major athletes including Shaquem Griffin, Mal Swanson, Andrew McCutchen, Bianca Andreescu, Diamond DeShields, Arike Ogunbowale, Darius Garland, Dina Asher-Smith, Sam Kerr, Devin Booker, Kyrie Irving, and LeBron James, among others.
'Daniel's track record speaks for itself — he understands the power of brand storytelling and knows what it takes to get a project over the line without sacrificing creative integrity,' said Stock CMO, Nick Karrat.
'His passion for sneaker and streetwear communities and his deep work with influential voices in culture, sports, and music make him a perfect fit for the team. We're thrilled to have him on board for this next chapter of the StockX brand story.'
For the role, Krueger wil travel regularly to the resale firm's headquarters in Detroit.
"I've been fortunate to spend my career working with brands and people I genuinely believe in — and StockX is no exception. I've followed it from the start and watched it grow into a global force," said Krueger.
"As a Chicago native, it's especially meaningful to help shape the next creative chapter of a Midwest-born brand. StockX sits at the intersection of sports, music, and entertainment — that kind of cultural relevance doesn't happen by accident, and being part of what's next is incredibly exciting."
Krueger's appointment comes just six months after StockX's top management reshuffle which saw the company's CEO Scott Cutler step down, effective December 31. The former chief was replaced by Greg Schwartz, the platform's co-founder, and president and COO, at the time.

Suspected mastermind of French crypto kidnappings arrested in Morocco
A 24-year-old Franco-Moroccan man suspected of masterminding a series of kidnappings targeting cryptocurrency entrepreneurs in France has been arrested in Morocco, French authorities said. The country has been shaken by a series of kidnappings and attempted abductions targeting cryptocurrency bosses and their families in recent months, prompting one prominent crypto entrepreneur to call on authorities to " stop the Mexicanization" of France. Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou was wanted by the French authorities and was the subject of an Interpol red notice for "arrest, kidnapping, false imprisonment or arbitrary detention of a hostage." The suspect was arrested in the northern Moroccan city of Tangier, according to a statement from the country's General Directorate for National Security carried by Moroccan state news agency MAP. "I sincerely thank Morocco for this arrest, which demonstrates excellent judicial cooperation between our two countries, particularly in the fight against organised crime," French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin said on X. Darmanin did not release further details but reposted a report in French daily Le Parisien which said authorities believe that Bajjou might have organized a series of kidnappings and abduction attempts from abroad. A native of Le Chesnay, west of Paris, Bajjou is suspected of being one of the masterminds behind the high-profile kidnapping in January of French crypto boss David Balland and his partner, according to Le Parisien. Balland co-founded the cryptocurrency firm Ledger, which was valued at the time at more than $1 billion. Balland's finger was cut off by his kidnappers, who demanded a hefty ransom. At least nine suspects are under investigation in that case. Another ringleader? The French authorities are also probing Bajjou's possible involvement in the series of kidnappings or attempted kidnappings in May, Le Parisien said. In footage that went viral on social media, several masked men attacked a pregnant daughter of cryptocurrency entrepreneur Pierre Noizat, her husband and their child in broad daylight in the French capital's hip 11 th arrondissement in mid-May. The attackers fled after the family put up resistance and a local attacked the men with a fire extinguisher. In early May, attackers also abducted a crypto-millionaire's father, who was later rescued by police. According to Le Parisien, another Franco-Moroccan man in his forties is believed to be behind the kidnapping plots. He remains at large. The Morocco-based men are thought to have been recruiting youngsters online to carry out criminal offenses in France. French authorities have made a series of arrests, but the suspects detained until now are thought to have been those involved in carrying out the abductions or in logistics. Last week, French authorities charged 25 people aged between 16 and 23 in connection with the kidnappings and attempted abductions. Most of the suspects were born in France and others in Senegal, Angola and Russia. The crimes have become a major embarrassment for the French government and have sparked concern about the security of wealthy crypto tycoons, who have notched up immense fortunes from the booming business. In May, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau held an emergency meeting with cryptocurrency leaders, with the ministry announcing plans to bolster their security.
