Emily "The Bun" Benka's Linkedin Analytics

Call me The Bun. Founder of Rosebloom Headwear. I make hats but I actually sell Representation. Neurospicy AF. I reject the premise. I see the world in solutions. I will talk AT GREAT LENGTH but everything I do is in the name of efficiency or making things easier. Hats are just the start. If you are dying to be a product designer but lack creativity and want to fund the 2390592384759 ideas I have, HOLLA. I used to say "You'll have to get used to me." Now I say, "You need to align with me." I am the mix of being raised by an MVP single mom in a low-income, scrappy little town in Beaver County PA, a couple decades of killer business acumen through a host of badass mentors in B2B and B2C, and a crushing need to fix everyday issues that the general population unconsciously accepts with no consideration for how it could be. I was that girl slangin' your french toast at Denny's at 3am. I have worked my way through every version of retail, food service, people and product management you can think of both on the ground and in leadership. I was the manager up and down the aisles at the pharmacy, executing floor sets, flowing trucks, managing teams and schedules, coordinating departments. I was the DM running hot market for every special event, training new managers, writing training manuals, and opening new divisions. I was the National Account Manager finding sales and margin through relational selling and education in the process. I blew through my way to Director of National. I am still keeping my feet wet in National Facilities with ProxyPics, the company that patently redefined property data collection with real-time visibility. What can I say? Its hard to leave things you love and ProxyPics will continue to bring visibility technology solutions to the Real Estate and Facilities Management community that save time, effort, and expenses. The common theme? The Bun. It was genesis of all things Rosebloom Headwear, which has become a brand not about me or my hair, but about individuality, inclusiveness, intersectionality, and correcting the inherent racism and misogyny that exist in headwear.
