Summary
Kafi J is an operations-minded Advertising Review and Investigations Specialist with 10 years of cross-sector experience spanning nonprofit arts programming, facilities account management, and event/broadcast operations. She combines a Master's in Business Administration with hands-on program and quality-assurance work—having built training curricula and operational guides for SMS Assist’s large-scale facilities teams and managed multimillion-dollar equipment projects for major retail clients. At the Better Business Bureau she applies that blend of process discipline and customer-focused investigation to help people find trustworthy businesses. Kafi’s background in arts management and community programs gives her a creative edge in stakeholder engagement and program design that’s uncommon in operations roles. She’s equally comfortable digging into databases and vendor sourcing as she is leading community-facing workshops or teaching digital skills to seniors. Based in the Chicago area, she is pursuing program management and marketing roles that marry strategy, operations, and community impact.
