Meet Your Guide
I'm Gab Ferree, and I've been exactly where you are. I spent 15+ years climbing from individual contributor to Global VP of Comms reporting to the CEO at companies like Bumble, Slack, and Salesforce—navigating crises, building influence, and learning (sometimes the hard way) what it really takes to go from order-taker to strategic partner.
In 2025, I created Off the Record to be the place where communications professionals can get the strategic guidance, practical tools, and peer support they need to earn their seat at the leadership table and to be home for the dinner table.
OTR has grown to 400+ members because comms pros are tired of being isolated, undervalued, and left to figure it out alone. We're changing that—together.
