Lead with mandate

Executive readers want to know what you were accountable for before what you did. Open each role with scope: remit, headcount, budget, region, P&L.

Change, not maintenance

Senior evidence is about what was different afterwards — restructures, turnarounds, market entries, transformations — stated at a level you can substantiate.

Discretion

Where commercial figures are confidential, use ranges or relative measures rather than omitting scale entirely.
