Robert Ta, CEO & Co-Founder at MetaBoy Inc.

I was raised in an immigrant family, and put myself through college. I know the value of hard work and effort, and I don’t take anything for granted. As such, I am an inclusive technologist and founder with a passion for human-centered design and aligning emerging technologies with user needs. In my career, I’ve recently led the functional software architecture practice at Workday Inc., solving problems that affected all of our software SKUs and played a resident intrapreneur role, consistently and quickly spinning up teams to deliver strategic projects at high velocity to capture value opportunities in operational excellence, deepening product market fit, and product scale across Finance, HR, Student Systems, Analytics, and more. With deep experience in the software-as-a-service business, and in particular B2B enterprise R&D, I have established myself as a thought leader in the industry who loves solving big, gnarly problems.

As CEO & Co-Founder of MetaBoy Inc., I am now laser focused on inclusive product design and development for metaverses & gaming, and have an unrelenting passion for general equity and equality in the world. This reflects in the way I successfully build teams, culture, community, and run R&D operations. I have a patent for my work in product adoption and value frameworks at scale, and I intend to use those skills to execute on mass adoption by bridging the Web 2 Gaming world with Web 3 Gaming, Metaverses, and NFTs — all with our differentiating IP, MetaBoy. I am extremely excited to push the boundaries of the nascent Creator Economy with our amazing MetaBoy Team!

When I’m not working on MetaBoy work, I love reading books, playing with my dog, and spending time outdoors by going bouldering, rock climbing, hiking, and backpacking.
