Who are you and what do you do?
Kerri Fox-Metoyer – Gabb is a safe tech for kids company. We operate a mobile network for kids, with age appropriate devices & services. No internet or social media on our device. I am the Head of Entertainment Services and run the music streaming service, Gabb Music, which has no explicit lyrics or in appropriate subject matter.
What’s something we don’t know about you?
As part of an Executive Program at Disney, I had the honor of being one of the seven dwarfs at Disneyland.
What inspires or motivates you to get out of bed?
In the summer, it is my garden. I have my coffee while I check on it every morning. In the winter, well that is a different story.
What is one thing you can’t live without?
My dog and my family – in that order.
Where do your brightest ideas come from?
I enjoy attending events/conferences not in my specific field. I think up my craziest ideas while building correlations from other industries.
How do you spark your creativity when you’re feeling in a rut?
I take a nap. It’s the best way to reset.
Where is your favorite place to decompress & unwind?
I indoor row at The Rowhouse. The only place on this planet that I don’t think about work.
When do you feel your best, and what do you do to stay in good vibrations?
I feel my best when I am IRL with my team and co-workers. We are a work hard, play hard team so that keeps the good vibe level high.
Why did you choose Ampersand Studios as your workspace?
Gabb chose Ampersand as the location we could grow our business. We have already expanded our workspace twice since we joined. My team loves the comforts of home while having an interesting mix of members to collaborate with.
