Senior Manager of Brand Marketing, Bombas

This philanthropic angle gives Bombas the edge in a crowded clothing market, as consumers hunt for mission-driven products, a trend that is already well in motion. Bombas received B Corporation certification for its commitment to helping those in need, the way it treats employees, volunteer work it undertakes, and how it makes decisions as a company.

While Bombas originally became known as a sock brand, it has since expanded into several new categories, and now offers socks, underwear, T-shirts and slippers. The company generates over $100 million in revenue, capitalizing on direct-to-consumer trends that have seen other mission-led apparel brands like Toms and Warby Parker reach unicorn status in recent years.

Bombas is now expanding to new markets and recently launched in the UK. It kicked off its launch by collaborating with St. Mungo’s, a non-profit that helps people without housing.
