CEO, Kurtis Jackson II
Hello, I am Kurtis, CEO / Owner of KUPID, where I have helped establish the company’s vision, strategy, and growth to make the world a better place. My background is in wealth management and marketing, which is not what led to owning a clothing company. In fact this company was birthed from my passion to create apparel that embraces confidences and expresses the idea of God's love. In addition to this, I have had the opportunity to be a business owner for 5+ years, and currently have 4 years of professional experience in the government, finance, and non profit sectors.
When I created KUPID in 2020, I was a sophomore college student. I worked as a gym teacher and sports instructor. When seeing the types of items young individuals would wear I knew that I could focus on creating apparel that they could wear that embraces a more positive message and representation.
I currently hold a Bachelor's degree with a major in finance, specialization in wealth management and minor in marketing. I am super passionate about leadership, community investment, philanthropy, and networking.
