Kerry Dolan

Jennifer Hill interviews Kerry Dolan about how we can transform the way women work. Jennifer asks Kerry about her company OptIn and how Kerry’s company helps mothers get back to work after taking time off to raise children. Kerry offers helpful insights on how moms can get back to work and discusses the resources that her company provides to empower moms in getting back to work.

Kerry is a mother of three and a visionary. She launched her career in New York City with a start-up in videoconference technology, which led her to set up and integrate the first ever satellite video conferencing system in the world.

In 2004, with twin girls on the horizon, Kerry made the decision to opt out of her career temporarily to care for her family. When her husband’s job called for a move from Los Angeles to Annapolis, she was there to support it. Four years later, after twins and husband and another baby, she found herself missing the kind of fulfillment she had when she had her own career.
In 2009, Kerry got back to work and created the KidsCare brand, the first of its kind. It is an in-mall childcare service that allows parents to shop or dine while their kids had fun in a supervised space. Since the opening of their doors in 2012, more than 45,000 kids have come through—clearly a concept that spoke to the needs of mothers with busy schedules.
When Kerry returned to Los Angeles in 2014, she teamed up with Leslie Dubuque as her right-hand woman and OptIn was launched.
