Differentiating Resumes for Executives + Boards of Directors

Executive + Boards of Director Resumes

Most executives and boards of directors began their careers as individual contributors crossing off daily to-dos while rushing forward to do more and be more. As your clout grew, you managed other people’s day-to-day accountabilities. Over time, you were promoted to the leadership helm, establishing and steering big-picture vision and strategy.

Path to the CEO Suite

As your career ship steamed ahead, your reputation wake of initiatives led to promotions, broader and deeper relationship networks and skyrocketing financial remuneration. The stakes grew higher as each career chapter unfolded.

As with many ambitious executives, your ultimate goal has been a seat in the C-suite, or at the least, a role directly reporting into the executive board. This includes all the associated leadership and influence cachet.

Multiple paths provide a way for strong leaders to achieve this executive career goal. Building a chief executive career story that is articulated in the language of the CXO-suite is one critical path.

Storied Achievements That Reverberate

This meaningfully focused and powerfully written summary of your executive resume challenges, actions and results is augmented with the leadership strengths and reverberating takeaways that deliver across an enterprise: how your leadership buoyed market share, propelled profitability and compelled cultural prestige.

It also includes storied achievements around:

  • Transformation: Spurred company from acceptable regional performer to high-performing global leadership and sustained growth.
  • Innovation: Accelerated digital innovation and market-place growth to achieve explosive customer acquisition and product sales.
  • Culture: Revolutionized revenue by inspiring a culture of continuous improvement.
  • P&L: Delivered profit-oriented stewardship, driving YOY top-tier performance among industry peers.
  • EBITDA: Defined long-term strategies to invigorate sustainable EBITDA growth.
  • Analyst Community: Engaged with the analyst community during earnings calls around capital and OPEX investment, competitive positioning and overall strategy.
  • Customer Obsession Journey: Revitalized revenue by applying a customer-obsession mindset.

Board-level Influence + Marketplace Loyalty

A chief executive officer and board-level resume is replete with the rigor of your hard work and sweat equity. As well, the message is elevated by relationship savvy, individual thought leadership and immeasurable influence that builds a swell of follower-ship upon which marketplace loyalty resides.

It may seem your reputation precedes you, and therefore, written stories of your esteem are unnecessary. However, if you neglect your executive resume story, consider the risk.

Executive and Boards of Director Resumes Differentiate

C-suite positions are exclusive with fewer such positions available at any given time. The traditional ways of competing for the Chief Executive opportunity–reputation and word of mouth–still are legitimate. However, the methods to communicate your reputation have evolved.

Deeply researched and thoughtfully orchestrated executive career stories are now the norm. They leap past resumes with opaque bullet points to achieve transparent, life-breathed and attention-garnering stories. These stories are peppered with your personally branded content that can be pulled through LinkedIn, Instagram, press releases and other digital messaging  designed to nurture an evolving, multidimensional you.

Carefully thinking through your value proposition enables you to close gaps between where you are and where you want to be. This happens when you connect dots for the executive hiring manager or recruiter needing to hear that you already have the skills and experiences they are hungering for to bring their company’s vision to life.

Executives who invest in themselves this way, whether independently or in partnership with an executive master resume writer are competitively positioning themselves to win.

If just that one perfect opportunity eludes you because another C-suite colleague was better equipped with a personally branded, differentiating story, would you not regret having ignored the potential?
