Stitch Fix’s new proxy statement gives a clean look at general counsel salary at a mid-size public company. Chief legal officer Casey O’Connor earned $2,349,425 for fiscal 2026: a $500,000 base, $1,427,433 in stock awards and a $408,300 bonus. The base has not moved since his 2022 offer letter. The stock is where the money is, as usual. Since August he has also been interim chief people officer, so the job keeps growing even when the salary line stays put.
The better story is the path. O’Connor was the company’s first lawyer, then deputy GC, then the top job. If you are the first legal hire somewhere growing, that is the upside. We flagged his number in our roundup of GC pay from recent proxies. Our salaries guide tracks general counsel salary data from filings and recruiter reports, and you can see who is hiring on our General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer jobs page.
From the filing: “Mr. O’Connor joined Stitch Fix as its first in-house lawyer in 2016. Prior to his role as Chief Legal Officer, Mr. O’Connor was the Company’s Deputy General Counsel.”
