Keri Kade

Keri Kade, a native of Syracuse, NY, joined Arizona Foundation Solutions as a Production Coordinator with a robust background in project and program management. With over 16 years in the industry, she has honed a skill set that encompasses everything from team leadership to precise project execution. In her role at AZFS, Keri oversees the day-to-day coordination within the Production Department, ensuring that every project phase is handled efficiently and that production schedules are met. Her deep-rooted experience in IT and project management allows her to streamline processes and implement solutions that enhance productivity.

Before coming to AZFS, Keri led a team of eight in the custom cabinetry millwork sector, managing high-stakes commercial and residential projects from initial planning through final delivery. Her leadership skills and attention to detail were instrumental in bringing clients’ visions to life with quality craftsmanship and adherence to deadlines. Keri also managed the Carrier Corp's North American server refresh program, where she coordinated complex technical projects with a focus on accuracy and efficiency. Her role as a Systems Analyst with GovSphere, supporting FBI Headquarters in Washington remotely, further expanded her technical proficiency and understanding of secure operations, adding depth to her skill set.

Drawn to AZFS by a position that perfectly matched her background, Keri saw an opportunity to build on her career in a role that also offered new challenges. The Production Coordinator position aligned with her goals of further expanding her IT capabilities while contributing to a company with a strong reputation in foundation solutions. Her proactive approach, combined with her ability to manage multiple priorities, makes her a vital part of the production team at AZFS.

Keri's journey to Arizona was a bold one—moving across the country alone, with no connections in the area, she initially planned to stay for a few months. However, she quickly fell in love with the Arizona lifestyle and community, leading her to extend her stay indefinitely. In her personal time, Keri stays active by hiking Arizona’s trails, hitting the gym, and running. She is also a NASM-certified Personal Trainer, a credential she pursued for personal enrichment and for the health benefits it brings to her family.
