We Know How to Build Your Board (Resume) Document so you are considered seriously as a Board Director or Advisor For Public, Private, and Non-Profit Board Seats
CEO Resume Writer was founded by Mary Elizabeth Bradford, CERM, CMRW+EE, CARW, MCD, NCOPE, IBDC.D, MQLE.D, an award-winning executive resume and board resume writer, career industry thought leader and past executive recruiting firm owner. She holds multiple international certifications in coaching and leadership, and her team has created powerful board documents (board resumes) for both established and aspiring leaders worldwide. Not all board resumes are created equal, even by top executive resume writing firms. Properly designed board resumes are actually called “board documents.” Not understanding what BODs are looking for in a board candidate submission can lead to you not being taken seriously as a potential nominee. We understand how to properly craft your board documents (BOD resume) so you get the serious consideration you deserve.
