Bio

As a WordPress entrepreneur, designer and developer all wrapped up in one, Rich Tabor is recognized as one of the top leaders in this post-Gutenberg era of WordPress. His ever-precise design chops have topped the 2018 Automattic Design Awards and led him to co-found CoBlocks – a top-notch set of page builder blocks and tools for Gutenberg, ThemeBeans – a premier WordPress theme shop and Iceberg – a markdown editor for Gutenberg.

In early 2019, Rich sold CoBlocks, ThemeBeans, and Block Gallery to GoDaddy and joined the team as the Senior Product Manager of WordPress Experience. Day in and day out, he focuses on making a real difference on how millions of folks use WordPress everyday on GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress platform and beyond.

WordPress Origin Story

I’m Rich Tabor. I’ve always had a knack for creating stuff, which has quickly grown into websites, themes, blocks and more. In short, designing, building, launching and scaling products is my jam — especially WordPress products. You may have heard of some of the products I’ve created, particularly ThemeBeans, CoBlocks, Iceberg, MerlinWP and Block Gallery.

I also served as the Senior Product Manager of WordPress Experience at GoDaddy from 2019-2021, making a real difference on how millions of folks use WordPress everyday on GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress platform and beyond.

Currently, I am the Head of Product at Extendify, where we extend the best of WordPress through innovative, Gutenberg-first solutions.
