Stacy Doren is Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Journeys, the teen footwear retailer owned by Genesco. She stepped into her first CMO role in August 2024 after a 24-year run at Levi Strauss & Co., where she spent a decade leading marketing for the Americas and helped return the Levi's brand to the center of youth culture. At Journeys she is rebuilding the brand's marketing foundation for a Gen Z audience that is making the mall cool again.
