He is the founder of Culture of Profit LLC, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company that consults with businesses to help develop and improve their pricing strategy. He also holds the title of Batten Fellow at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business (in residence, Spring 2001).

This research was published in the Rand Journal of Economics, a leading academic economics journal. Rafi has previously worked on pricing issues at the FCC during the telecommunications deregulation and Monitor Group. He has testified as a pricing expert in six public policy commission hearings.
