Meet the people behind Stockd

Two Entrepreneurs.
One Big Vision.

Stockd was built on a simple belief: vending should be smarter, more convenient, and a whole lot better.

The founders

Different Strengths.
A Shared Standard.

Stockd was founded by South Florida entrepreneurs Hannah Zlatkiss and Chris Coons to bring smarter, technology-driven vending to businesses, communities, and organizations throughout South Florida — two entrepreneurs with complementary strengths and a shared vision for building something bigger than a traditional vending business.

Hannah Zlatkiss

Chief Snack Officer

Hannah is a South Florida entrepreneur, digital marketing strategist, and business builder with more than 27 years of experience in media, technology, marketing, and business development.

She is the founder of Cre8MediaHub, a digital growth company she built over 17 years, helping businesses use technology, digital marketing, SEO, websites, and growth systems to attract customers and grow.

Hannah brings that same technology-first mindset to Stockd. She saw an opportunity to take something people interact with every day and rethink the whole experience — from smart technology and cashless payments to product selection, branding, placement, and the way a machine feels in a room. Less vending machine, more modern retail.

At Stockd she leads brand, marketing, partnerships, customer experience, and growth strategy.

“If we’re going to build it, let’s build it better.”

Chris Coons

The Snackfather

Chris is an entrepreneur and business builder with a practical, hands-on approach to turning ideas into real businesses.

He provides the financial and operational foundation behind Stockd’s growth — equipment, transportation, logistics, deployment, and the infrastructure a scalable vending network runs on.

While Hannah focuses on brand, marketing, technology, and growth, Chris makes sure the vision becomes reality in the field.

“Build a great business — and build it to last.”

The vision

We’re Building the Next
Generation of Vending

The goal is a connected network of Stockd locations across South Florida and, in time, well beyond it — every location chosen deliberately, every machine held to the same standard. That is the difference between putting machines in buildings and building smart-retail infrastructure.

Smart.

Every machine reports what sells and what sits, so product selection and restocking keep getting sharper the longer a location runs.

Connected.

No location is a standalone box. Every machine feeds the same network, and the network is what keeps each one stocked and monitored.

Cashless.

Tap, take it, go. No coins, no bill validators, no exact change — the same checkout at every Stockd location.

Convenient.

Placed where people already live, work, train, and gather, so what they need is a few steps away instead of a drive away.

Stockd Gives Back.

A successful business should be part of the communities it serves. Through Stockd’s community partnerships, the machine in a lobby can also support the programs and causes that matter to the people using it.

Built for what comes next

The Future of Retail Isn’t Always a Giant Store.

Sometimes it’s right there in the lobby. At the gym. In the office. In your apartment building. Stockd brings smart retail and great products wherever people need them.
