Our Story

Some companies are built from a business plan. RuVal Inc. was built from a life's work.

Rubin Cuffee spent more than four decades at the intersection of two worlds most people keep separate: the corporate boardroom and the church sanctuary. He managed multimillion-dollar portfolios at Lockheed Martin, earned the company's prestigious NOVA Award for leading teams that consistently exceeded expectations, and held senior roles at IBM. He also spent 25 years as a church Trustee and Board Chairman, overseeing the construction of a 65,000-square-foot facility, guiding a congregation through COVID-19, and co-authoring the governing documents that shaped the institution for generations.

​

Those two worlds taught him the same lesson in different languages: most people and organizations are sitting on more potential than they know. They just need the right partner to help them unlock it.

​

That insight became RuVal Inc.

Named for Rubin and his wife Valerie, the company was built on a simple conviction. Professional-level consulting, coaching, and leadership development should not be reserved for Fortune 500 companies. Individuals facing a major crossroads deserve expert guidance. Small businesses navigating growth deserve a strategic partner. Faith communities managing operations, transitions, and outreach deserve someone who understands both ministry and management.

​

That someone is Rubin.

He is a Certified Church Consultant, a Certified Competent Coach, and a John Maxwell Leadership Coach. He is the author of Discovering Your Next Pastor: Leveraging Faith and Technology, a practical guide for congregations navigating one of the most significant transitions a church can face. He is also the founder and producer of Living Among Greatness, a short-form documentary series honoring unsung heroes in the African American community.

​

But what matters most is not the resume. It is the reason.

Rubin built RuVal Inc. to serve. To bring the expertise he spent a career developing into the rooms where it is needed most. To sit across the table from a pastor who is overwhelmed, a small business owner who is stuck, or an individual who is unsure of their next step, and say: I have been there. I can help. Let's build something together.
