STAND OUT as the C-Suite leader boards and CEOs are looking for.
C-Suite appointments are not won on tenure alone. They are secured on enterprise impact, strategic judgement, and leadership credibility at scale. We translate your senior leadership experience into C-Suite language - growth, transformation, margin protection, operational resilience, risk leadership, and stakeholder confidence within complex, investor-led, and regulated environments. Instead of reading like an extended career history, your CV becomes a clear executive mandate: what you lead, what you fix, and how you move the organisation forward. For CEOs, Boards, and executive search firms, it reads less like a CV - and more like a ready-to-appoint leadership brief.
Why most C-Suite CVs fail to generate traction in the current market.
Many C-Suite candidates rely on old executive CVs that no longer reflect how top-level leaders are assessed.
Typical C-Suite CVs:
-
Overweight responsibility, underweight outcomes - what was done, not what changed.
-
Lack enterprise framing - divisional success not translated to whole-of-organisation impact.
-
Fail to show mandate readiness - why you are the right leader now.
-
Blend in at search level - little differentiation among equally senior peers.
They show seniority - but not C-Suite readiness. Today’s market favours leaders who demonstrate strategic clarity, commercial judgement, and confidence under complexity, not just impressive titles.
What sets our C-Suite CVs apart?
A methodical, C-Suite-specific approach trusted by boards and executive search firms.
We specialise in C-Suite career positioning, partnering with senior leaders pursuing CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, CTO, CHRO and equivalent enterprise roles. Since 2011, we’ve refined a bespoke, high-touch approach that has positioned over 30,000 executives for:
-
Public, private, PE-backed, and founder-led organisations
-
Growth, turnaround, transformation, and scale mandates
-
Investor-led, regulated, and regionally complex markets
Every engagement is led by executive transition coaches with deep exposure to C-Suite hiring dynamics, search firm screening logic, and board-level decision-making. Each brief is handled with absolute discretion, strategic precision, and a clear understanding of how senior leaders are actually assessed. This is not executive CV writing for “senior” roles. It is C-Suite positioning, delivered through documents and leadership narratives that decision-makers actually respond to.
Our clients consistently secure C-Suite appointments across New Zealand's leading firms.

What’s changed in the market at C-Suite level since 2020?
The executive job market has become tighter, more competitive, and more selective.
This shift is driven by several structural changes:
-
An increased supply of highly credentialed, C-Suite-ready leaders.
-
Greater scrutiny on judgement, decision-making and leadership maturity - not just track record.
-
More search-led processes and shorter, more competitive shortlists.
-
Boards expecting immediate impact rather than extended learning curves.
As a result, traditional role-based CVs no longer suffice. C-Suite candidates must now demonstrate enterprise leadership logic, mandate alignment, and the ability to operate under pressure - often before the first conversation takes place.
