A condensed single-page CV for senior leaders. Strategic achievements, scale indicators (revenue, headcount, geography), board exposure. Built for C-suite, director, VP and head-of applications where recruiters scan quickly and look for impact signals.

Section order

  1. Executive profile (3-4 lines)
  2. Strategic impact (3 bold bullet achievements)
  3. Positions (reverse-chronological, 1-2 lines each)
  4. Board & advisory roles
  5. Education & credentials (brief)

What makes it work

Executives don't need to prove they did the job - they need to prove they moved the number. Every bullet here is a measurable business outcome, not a duty list. If a line doesn't name a metric, cut it.

Why this template works

  • Measured layout signals seriousness for banking / law / consulting
  • Georgia serif reads as conservative without being dated
  • Strategic achievements lead each role, not duties
