  • Beyond the Stockroom Ep. 8: The "Corporate" Path Through Wholesale with Rebekah
    May 29 2026

    This week’s guest is proof that sometimes saying “yes” to a temp job can completely change your career path. Dillon and Delaney sit down with Rebekah Moomau, Director of Sales at Portico Collection, to talk about how she went from showroom help to sales leadership in just six years — all within the same company.

    Known affectionately as a “professional yapper,” Rebekah shares how relationship-building, curiosity, and consistency helped her grow through the ranks in an industry that offers more career paths than people realize. While many guests have shared entrepreneurial and winding journeys, Rebekah’s story highlights something different: wholesale can also provide the kind of traditional, upward career growth that many people associate with the corporate world — just with a lot more personality along the way.
