Ethan Rudin
Chief Financial Officer of Rhapsody
After more than 10 years handling billion-dollar transactions for financial firms such as Bank of America Securities, J.P. Morgan and Citi, Ethan proved he is more than a world-class numbers man when he took a position as Starbucks’ Director of Global Strategy & Corporate Development. When he wasn’t downing hot cups of Pike Place Roast during long nights and early mornings at the company’s Seattle headquarters, he fed his passion for music in the legendary music venues of the Northwest. With music as a core passion, Ethan jumped at the chance to be part of one of the most influential and iconic companies in music history. As the CFO of Rhapsody International, he has global strategic and operational responsibility for the company’s finance, accounting and corporate development (M&A) operations – and on top of that – he manages human resources, legal, label relations and business development.
