Your NED CV is Your Calling Card

A Non-Executive Director CV differs significantly from a traditional career CV. It needs to demonstrate your governance capability, strategic thinking, and the value you bring to a boardroom.

Our specialist CV services are designed exclusively for NED applicants, ensuring your experience and achievements are presented in the most compelling way to search committees and nomination boards.

NED CV Tips

1
Lead with a Strong Profile Summary

Start with a compelling 3-4 sentence summary that captures your board-level experience, sector expertise, and the value you bring. This is your elevator pitch.

2
List Board Roles First

If you have existing NED or trustee experience, present this prominently before your executive career history to demonstrate governance experience.

3
Focus on Strategic Achievements

Highlight strategic initiatives, turnarounds, M&A activity, IPOs, or governance improvements rather than operational KPIs.

4
Include Committee Experience

Detail any experience with Audit, Remuneration, Nomination, or Risk committees - this is highly valued by search committees.

5
Demonstrate Sector Knowledge

Show deep understanding of your target sector(s) through relevant experience, qualifications, or thought leadership.

6
Keep It Concise

Aim for 2-3 pages maximum. Board members and search consultants have limited time - every line should add value.
