Executive Resume Writer for Senior Leaders and C-Suite Professionals

15+ years of sharpening career stories to help leaders land roles

Does your resume promote your leadership impact and the outcomes you’ve delivered?

Compelling resumes and LinkedIn profiles play a critical role in an executive job search. 

As an award-winning executive resume writer, I work directly with senior leaders whose deep experience isn’t always reflected in their current materials. Most of my clients are trailblazers who know their value but struggle to express it on paper and online. That’s where experience matters.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve partnered with executives and business leaders at Fortune 500 companies, high-growth start-ups, and global organizations - across all industries - to craft career tools that get attention and open doors.

If you’re a CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, CMO, SVP, VP, Director, or Board-level leader with clear career goals and a defined job target, you’re in exactly the right place.

As a 10X-certified career professional and 2X master-level executive resume writer, I created this boutique firm to connect leading professionals across North America with value-driven jobsearch tool that open doors to top jobs.

Working with you, I will craft your career story to attract the attention you deserve, set you apart from the competition, and secure you greater recognition and higher compensation.

Why Most Executive Resumes Fail at the Senior Level

At the executive level, resumes don’t fall short because of formatting or length. They stall because they read like operational summaries instead of strategic leadership narratives.

I see this pattern repeatedly in my work with senior leaders. Accomplished executives with decades of experience often undersell their impact by listing responsibilities instead of outcomes, scope, and decision-level influence.

Recruiters and hiring committees are not looking for task execution. They’re scanning for clarity around leadership scale, business impact, and readiness for the role in front of them. When that story isn’t immediately clear, even highly qualified executives get passed over.

A recent study revealed that job seekers who used a professionally written resume secured work 32% faster. 

A powerful, professionally written executive resume can:

Differentiate you from competitors and capture the eye of hiring authorities to win interviews.

Open doors to prestigious jobs at leading organizations around the world.

Position you strongly ‘on paper’ so you can navigate a job search with confidence.

Generate faster career transition, increased compensation, and enhanced employability.

Today's job market demands a GREAT executive resume!

What I see every week in executive job searches

  • Executives with impressive track records are buried under operational detail

  • Resumes optimized for ATS, but not for human decision-makers

  • Leadership impact implied, but not proven

  • Career stories misaligned with the next-level role

 

How I Help Senior Leaders Compete at the Highest Levels

  • 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱. Everyone has value to offer employers. But conveying this story in a modern, succinct executive resume isn’t easy. I can do this for you.
  • 𝗜 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 ‘𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲’. I'm often told that my process is as valuable as the final documents. People feel more empowered and confident after our work together.
  • 𝗠𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. I hear amazing success stories from my executive clients. For over 15 years, I have written hundreds of executive resumes and LinkedIn profiles that have generated increased recognition and enhanced earning power for my clients, helping them secure amazing jobs at major organizations.

 

I work exclusively with senior leaders and C-suite executives who need more than a polished resume. My clients are navigating competitive markets, confidential searches, internal promotions, or career pivots where positioning matters as much as experience.

Every engagement begins with strategy. Before a single word is written, I focus on understanding your leadership scope, decision authority, business impact, and next-level goals. This ensures your career materials reflect not just where you’ve been, but where you’re qualified to go.

My work is intentionally high-touch, highly customized, and grounded in how executive hiring decisions are actually made.

Services Overview 

I support senior leaders through a focused set of executive career services, including:

  • Executive Resume Writing
    Strategic, outcome-driven resumes that position leadership impact, scale, and readiness for senior roles.

  • Executive LinkedIn Profile Development
    Thoughtfully written profiles that reinforce authority, visibility, and credibility with recruiters and decision-makers.

  • Board Bios & Executive Bios
    Clear, concise narratives designed for board consideration, investor audiences, and senior stakeholders.

  • Executive Career Strategy & Positioning
    Targeted guidance for leaders navigating stalled searches, promotions, or strategic career transitions.

I’m selective by design. I work best with leaders who value clarity and who understand that executive career moves require a different level of rigor than earlier-career searches.

If you’re looking for mass-produced resumes or quick fixes, I am not the right fit. If you want strategic guidance grounded in experience and precision, you’re in the right place.
