Abe Rudo is a business advisor and strategic partner for relationship-based professional services firms—attorneys, financial advisors, accountants, and similar practices. He helps established business owners transform a stressful, unpredictable business into one that runs with clarity, profitability, and sustainability.
His approach is highly analytical and data-driven. Drawing on six years of strategic and operational experience at Apple—spanning business management, content strategy, and program management for iPhone hardware engineering—plus product management roles at Sony PlayStation and a startup, Abe brings a rigorous, systems-thinking perspective to business challenges. He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering, a BA in Theatre Arts from Santa Clara University, and an MBA from UC Davis, along with certifications from the Center for Executive Coaching and International Coaching Federation.
Abe developed the 7-Stage Business Evolution Framework, a diagnostic tool that helps business owners identify exactly where they are, what constraints are holding them back, and which challenges to tackle first. His method combines analytical precision with facilitative coaching—helping clients diagnose their own constraints and design sustainable solutions rather than applying generic advice.
Based in the Bay Area, Abe maintains an active coaching practice focused on helping business owners build businesses they're proud to own.
