Robin Terry is Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Motown Museum, a cultural gem founded in 1985 by her grandmother, the late Esther Gordy Edwards, who was a senior executive at Motown Records and the sister of Motown founder Berry Gordy.
Terry has devoted the past two decades to carrying the torch for one of Detroit’s most notable entrepreneurial families and preserving the legacy of an iconic brand, “Motown.”
Terry’s mission is to build on her grandmother’s vision to tell the authentic story of Motown and is presently spearheading a $75M capital campaign to expand the Museum and the creative magnet of Motown that will transform and energize the community. She believes Motown magnifies what is best about Detroiters and tells a story of resilience, persistence, as well as the power of creative synergy.
With her continued work and dedication to the development of Detroit and to the preservation of its history, Motown Museum will continue to serve as a beacon in the community and around the world that can inspire the entrepreneurial and creative spirit for generations to come.
