Board Resume Writing for First-Time Corporate Directors and Experienced Board Directors. Our board resume writing services center on helping executives pivot from the C-suite into the boardroom. As a top recommended board resume writer who is a licensed attorney with direct C-suite and board reporting experience, we bring the credentials, authority, and depth of experience this work demands.
We’ve twice presented exclusively to members of the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) on writing a board resume, board bio, and our board resume sample has been provided directly to NACD members as a trusted resource. We also serve as a featured columnist in Above the Law since 2021, where we write about board readiness, boardroom strategies, and personal branding for executives and lawyers seeking board seats.
Understanding Your Board Skills and Value. Often referred to as your board matrix, board skills and competencies can include corporate governance, SEC reporting, IPO readiness, compliance, risk, ESG/sustainability, financial management, audit, capital raising, business expansion, turnaround growth, business transformation, organic and acquisition growth, cybersecurity, talent management and succession planning. Additionally, a board bio is a must when applying for a board seat as part of the board resume submission. It will be commonly asked as part of the application and background process. Together, these items become your “board portfolio” (board resume, board bio, and board-focused LinkedIn profile).
