Bespoke NED CV Writing:
Aspiring and experienced non-executive directors
Elevate your boardroom presence

Is this you...?
➡️ Unsure how to reposition your CV to highlight your strategic, governance and risk oversight expertise?
➡️ Coming from a full-time executive role and want to showcase your ability to advise, influence and innovate at board level?
➡️ Feeling modest or introverted about promoting your credentials and achievements in a concise, compelling way?
Read on for full details of what I do, how I do it and why you should work with me…
Or here’s the TL;DR summary:
✅ Bespoke NED CVs crafted to position you as a credible board advisor and strategic leader
✅ Coaching-led approach that clarifies your unique offering as a future or current NED
✅ Focused on highlighting governance, stakeholder management and high-impact achievements
✅ Prices start from £350
I’m here to help
I create NED-specific CVs that shine a spotlight on your board-level impact, strategic thinking and governance strengths. By blending my writing expertise with a coaching approach, I do far more than give your CV a tidy-up.
I do my very best to 'really see you' - drawing out the qualities, successes and contributions that set you apart.
From championing robust governance to demonstrating your ability to provide independent oversight, your new NED CV will leave no doubt that you belong in the boardroom. I’ll refresh outdated content, reposition your executive achievements in a board context and add powerful new content that strengthens your professional narrative.

✮ You want to highlight your track record of influencing strategic outcomes and navigating risk at the highest level
✮ Your current CV underplays your governance capabilities and stakeholder management skills
✮ You need an objective, expert viewpoint to make your achievements resonate with board recruiters
✮ You’re short on time, or simply uncertain how to articulate your board-level potential in writing

LinkedIn™ profiles
There are many aspects to LinkedIn™ that can be leveraged to improve your visbility to potential employers, enhance your professional brand and grow your network.
Whilst your LinkedIn™ profile should be based on your CV - after all, your career journey is your career journey - I don’t do a simple ‘copy and paste’. I create individual, polished profiles, based on your CV yet making the most of the features of LinkedIn™ to elevate your visibility and authority in your industry.
Stand out with a new professional profile focused on board roles, and use LinkedIn to your advantage.
I'll update your LinkedIn™ profile in the following ways:
✮ Your entire profile will be reviewed and updated – aligning the content with your new NED CV to refresh and supercharge your professional brand
✮ Your new profile will include the right salient points and keywords throughout, making use of relevant LinkedIn™ sections and ‘tweaks’ to boost your visibility and authority
✮ ALL relevant elements of your profile - not just the ‘About’ and ‘Experience’ sections - will be optimised for searchability and SEO, increasing the chances of you being found by recruiters from both inside and outside of LinkedIn™
✮ I'll bring your profile to life – including any relevant information to describe your professional journey, which I will have drawn out during our CV consultation(s)
✮ You'll be able to choose from several new, bespoke banner images that I’ll create to help your profile stand out, be visually appealing and highlight your specialisms and expertise
✮ To build your network and keep your profile optimised – I'll recommend any additional actions you can take to maintain your profile going forward
According to a white paper by Robert Walters Specialist Professional Recruitment, 64% of recruiting managers say they have viewed a jobseeker’s professional social network profile (such as LinkedIn™) at some point as part of the recruitment process.
Can you afford NOT to have a standout LinkedIn™ profile?
“Tracey helped to extract the ‘good stuff’ and document this on my LinkedIn™ profile. She exceeded my expectations with her output and I would highly recommend using Tracey for LinkedIn™ profiles.”
