**Key Differences from Standard Resumes:**

| Lists skills | Demonstrates leadership brand |
| Shows tasks | Shows strategic impact |

| Individual contributions | Organizational transformation |

## Executive Resume Structure

```
1. Executive Profile/Summary
2. Core Competencies (Leadership Themes)
3. Career Highlights / Key Achievements
4. Professional Experience
5. Board & Advisory Roles
6. Education & Executive Development
7. Industry Recognition (optional)
```

### Length Guidelines

This replaces the standard professional summary. Should communicate your **leadership brand**.

[TITLE/FUNCTION] EXECUTIVE

[Leadership brand statement - who you are as a leader]

[2-3 sentences on your track record with scope/scale]

[What you're known for / unique value proposition]
```
