VP → SVP · SaaS
From: Stalled at VP, 3 yrs
To: SVP at a $1B SaaS, 11 wks.
Three years inside one company, the title hadn't moved, and the comp band had quietly compressed. We built a 14-target list of PE-backed software firms with a clear thesis on go-to-market gaps. Re-architected résumé and LinkedIn to lead with revenue impact instead of function. First interview landed in week 2; final offer in week 11.

CFO → CFO · Public co.
From: Restructured out of mid-cap CFO
To: Public-company CFO.
Mid-career CFO restructured out with a six-month runway. Built a board-facing brand package and a 9-name target list of audit-committee chairs. Two parallel processes ran for ten weeks. The accepted offer included an equity refresh that more than replaced the prior package.

Director → VP · Med-device
From: Director, plateaued
To: VP, Commercial — strategic acquirer.
Eleven years at one med-device company. Recruiters wouldn't engage because the résumé read "individual contributor at scale." We rebuilt the document around three strategic acquisition stories the client had quietly run. Three first interviews inside the first month.

SVP → CEO · PE-backed
From: SVP, operating role
To: CEO of a PE-backed portfolio company.
Confidential search while still in seat. Operator-to-officer transition required a new investor-facing narrative and a curated set of board-level proof points. We ran a 6-name search via warm intros to PE partners. Single best offer, no public visibility.

CHRO → CHRO · Industrials
From: CHRO at a struggling consumer brand
To: CHRO at a $4B industrials co.
Industry pivot — consumer to industrials — with no obvious precedent in the search market. We rebuilt the LinkedIn architecture around three transferable narratives (M&A integration, leadership development, compensation overhaul) and ran targeted outreach to 7 industrial CHRO recruiters. Two first interviews inside 5 weeks.

VP → CRO · Fintech
From: VP, Sales
To: Chief Revenue Officer.
Functional VP who had been hitting plan for years but couldn't get on a CRO shortlist. We rebuilt the résumé and LinkedIn around three demonstrable systems (pipeline architecture, partner-led go-to-market, enterprise pricing) instead of bookings figures. First CRO interview in week 3.
