About Emily Blumberh

I’m a dynamic sales director and showroom leader with over a decade of experience at the intersection of fashion, tech, and client service. My career has spanned hyper-growth startups and heritage brands, giving me a unique perspective on scaling sales, building community, and delivering highly personalized customer experiences.At Billy Reid, I currently lead our Washington, DC showroom—bringing together the best of two worlds: Knot Standard’s custom technology and Billy Reid’s award-winning design. As both Showroom Manager and Sales Director, I’m focused on growing our client base, developing top-performing stylists, and creating an exceptional custom-tailored experience for busy professionals.Before the 2024 acquisition, I spent five years driving growth at Knot Standard, moving up from Senior Style Advisor to Executive Style Advisor and ultimately Sales Director. I specialized in building loyal books of business, hosting community events, and coaching new hires in client strategy and wardrobe planning.Prior to that, I was a founding stylist at Trunk Club DC, where I helped launch the clubhouse and scale all three business channels—men’s, women’s, and custom. As a Technology Ambassador, I also partnered with internal teams to test new selling tools and support nationwide rollout.I began my career at LivingSocial, where I honed my skills in marketing, campaign strategy, and customer acquisition during a pivotal stage of startup growth. I thrive where style, service, and strategy meet. Whether mentoring new stylists, growing revenue, or shaping the in-store experience, I bring a consultative, energetic approach that drives results—and looks great doing it.
