Most people do not have a career problem. They have a translation problem.
The work is real, the results are real, and none of it survives the trip onto the page. Six years of responsibility gets compressed into four bullet points that could describe anyone, and the person reading it has no way to tell the difference between a candidate who ran something and one who sat near it.
That gets worse the moment an application crosses a border. A CV written for one market is read by someone who expects a different length, a different tone and different things left out entirely. The candidate is not weaker. The document is simply speaking the wrong language, and nobody tells them.
Over eight years I have built the work around that gap. The approach is strategy-first and deliberately practical: establish the target, take what you have actually done, and write the shortest document that makes the case for it. That means asking questions before writing anything, and it means telling you when a full rewrite is not what you need.
Everything is written by me. No team, no outsourcing and no template library with your name dropped into it. That is a hard limit on volume, and it is the reason the work holds up.

Who I work with
Four groups, four different problems.
The service is not split by industry or by country. It is split by what the document has to prove, which changes far more with seniority than it does with geography.
Mid-career professionals
Real achievements buried under job descriptions, and a CV that has quietly stopped matching the level being applied for.
Senior leaders and executives
Scope, P&L and influence that need to read as a business case rather than a longer list of responsibilities.
C-suite and founders
Positioning for boards, investors and search consultants, where the audience reads differently from a hiring manager.
The method
Six things every document goes through.
This is the same for a graduate CV and a C-suite one. What changes is how much work each step takes.
- 01
Strategy before writing
The target role, the level and the market get settled first. A document written before that decision is made is a list of jobs rather than an argument for one.
- 02
ATS performance
Parseable structure, standard headings, no critical information trapped in images or tables, and keywords drawn from real job descriptions rather than guessed at.
- 03
Recruiter readability
A recruiter gives a CV about seven seconds on the first pass. The layout decides what they see in those seconds, and that is a design decision, not an accident.
- 04
Achievement-based positioning
Responsibilities describe the job. Achievements describe you. Every bullet gets rebuilt around what changed and by how much.
- 05
Market-specific direction
CV conventions differ between markets on length, photographs, personal details and tone. Yours is written for the market you are actually applying into.
- 06
Proof-driven storytelling
Claims without evidence read as filler. Every strong line in a CV has a number, a scale or a named outcome standing behind it.
How I work
Four things that do not change.
One writer, every document
Nothing is passed to a team or outsourced. That caps how many orders run at once, and it is the reason the faster delivery options carry a fee.
Evidence over adjectives
"Results-driven professional" tells a recruiter nothing. What you changed, by how much, and in what context tells them everything.
Honest scope
If your CV needs an afternoon of your own work rather than a paid rewrite, the review will say so. Selling a rewrite that will not help is a bad trade for both of us.
No promises nobody can keep
No one can guarantee you a job, or that a specific system will accept your file. What is guaranteed is that the document will not be the reason you were passed over.
