Luber is an expert on the sneaker resale market, and has applied that knowledge to the broader secondary market for luxury goods, a $6 billion global industry. Originally from Philadelphia, Luber is a graduate of Emory University, from which he holds a Bachelors, a M.B.A., and a J.D.
StockX was jointly founded by Dan Gilbert, Greg Schwartz, Josh Luber and Chris Kaufman in 2015, with an emphasis on the sneaker resale market. Until mid-2019, Luber was the CEO of StockX. However, he stepped down from that role upon raising a Series C, $110 million round of venture capital funding at a $1 Billion valuation for the company.
After leaving StockX, he co-founded Fanatics Collectibles, a subsidiary of Fanatics, with Michael Rubin. Operating as Chief Vision Officer, Luber secured exclusive trading card manufacturing and distribution rights from MLB, MLBPA, NBA, NBPA and NFLPA, raised $350 million in funding at a $10.4 billion dollar valuation, and oversaw the acquisition of Topps.
