Written like a duty list. Not like the career it actually was.
I rewrite CVs, biographies, and LinkedIn profiles at every career stage, from a first promotion to a first board seat, for people whose documents describe their job, not their impact.
"Responsible for managing engineering staff and departmental budget."
"Built and led a 40-person engineering organization on a budget I controlled end to end."
Most people are trained to describe their job, not their career. Somewhere between the work and the document, ownership quietly turns into duty. "Led" becomes "supported," whether that is a first team lead role or a global division. A number that would close a room never makes it onto the page. None of this is a writing problem. It is a translation problem, and it is fixable at any stage.
Same career, any stage. Different sentence.
Documents built for how senior careers actually move
CV & Resume
A ground up rewrite built around what you actually did, whatever stage that is: a first internal promotion or a next board seat.
Executive & Board Biography
A standalone document for introductions, boards, and rooms where a CV is not the right format.
LinkedIn Positioning
Your profile rewritten to match the document, not the other way round.
Career Branding & Strategy
Working sessions to define how you talk about the move you are making next, before a single line gets written.
Four steps, in this order
Conversation
A working session to understand the role, the scope, and where the current materials undersell it.
Draft
A full rewrite, built around the facts and figures that carry the most weight for the level you are targeting.
Refine
We work through the draft together until the language and the career finally match.
Deliver
Final documents, formatted and ready to use, with guidance on where to use them first.
Careers at the point of a real decision
- 01 Early career professionals whose first CV still reads like a job description rather than a track record.
- 02 Directors and VPs preparing for the next step up.
- 03 Senior operators moving from functional leadership into enterprise level roles.
- 04 Professionals exploring a first board or advisory seat, where an operational CV has to be reframed around governance rather than delivery.
Nothing goes in that will not hold up
Every draft starts from what you actually did, not from a template of what the role is supposed to sound like. If a claim does not hold up under its own math, I will say so and ask for the real number rather than let it slide through. If two roles on your timeline overlap in a way a reader would question, I will ask before a recruiter does. The result reads like you, at your most precise, not like a rewritten version of someone else's CV with your name on it.
Career conversations are rarely simple. Most of this work happens while people are still employed, still deciding, still figuring out what they actually want next. Everything discussed stays between us.
Start with a conversation, not a commitment.
Tell me what you are working toward and where the current materials fall short. I will tell you plainly whether I can help, and what that would involve.
