COMPELLING RESUMES
 
 

MORE INTERVIEWS. BETTER JOB OFFERS. COVETED BOARD SEATS. HIGHER SALARIES.

 
 

YOUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES RESUME WRITER & CAREER STRATEGIST

 
 

I’ve helped thousands of people go from quietly frustrated or ready for more to their next great gig.

 
 
 
 

Your resume has a crucial job to do.

To break free from the competition. To wrangle a complex career history into a clear, succinct message. To make employers, recruiters, and board committees sit up in their chairs and say “We need to talk to this person right away.”

Same goes for LinkedIn.

You’re not just filling in fields—you’re shaping perception. Every word should speak to what you’ve built, how you lead, and why you matter right now. Your track record. Your edge. Your vision and pragmatism. The way you move things forward.

This is where I come in.

Whether you’re a CEO exploring board seats, a senior executive pivoting careers, a public-sector leader heading into corporate, or even a rising professional stepping into leadership—I can help you get there. How? By crafting resumes and LinkedIn profiles that bring clarity, energy, and originality to your story.

And let’s not forget ATS compliance. I’ll take care of that, too.

One week after reaching out to five companies, I landed three phone interviews and one in-person interview. I’ve never received this kind of response before!

Resume writing that actually works.

Before I became an executive resume writer, I worked for a recruiter—screening stacks of resumes all day long. Hour by hour, document by document, almost all of them sounded the same. But every now and then, I came across a resume with a heartbeat. It felt real. Clear. Human. And every time, we reached out immediately.

Now that I’m the one writing the resumes, I make sure your story is the one that makes them stop scrolling.

I do it by drawing on 20+ years of experience, asking the right questions, and distilling your impact into a bold, strategic document that sounds like you—not a template and definitely not AI. Metrics, yes. But also voice, nuance, and the kind of sharp positioning that creates real traction.

Every document I create is crafted individually—thoughtfully—so you walk away with a powerful, custom-built presentation that opens doors, drives salary conversations, and feels like you at your best.

 


 
 
 

Over the past 20 years, I’ve helped over 5,000 executives and trailblazers land new positions and board seats with Fortune 500s, nonprofits, and start-ups around the world.


Many of my clients
land interviews and offers within days or weeks of receiving their new documents—a real feat, considering most searches stretch 6 to 12 months (sometimes longer for executives). That’s why more than 85% of my clients find me through word-of-mouth.

I create real-people-behind-the-words resumes and LinkedIn profiles that reflect your voice, your edge, and your can’t-miss value. I write, design, revise, and fine-tune every document myself. No ghostwriters. No outsourcing. When you hear from me, it’s me.
