My top 10 tips for executive biography writing.

• Tailor your bio to the audience and platform: A bio for a board application differs from a LinkedIn or a speaker profile. Adjust tone, length and focus to suit the context and reader.
• Start with a strong positioning statement: Set the tone and keep them reading by opening with a clear summary of who you are and what you bring to the table.
• Showcase achievements, not just job titles: Focus on accomplishments, impact, and milestones – what you’ve done and how it moved the needle.
• Highlight leadership style and philosophy: Don’t just state facts—share what drives you. Mention your leadership approach, values, or how you inspire teams and foster innovation.
• Use a confident, professional tone: Your bio should reflect authority and expertise. Avoid clichés, fluff, and jargon. Aim for clarity, polish, and strategic language.
• Weave in storytelling: Bring your career to life by showing progression or themes (e.g., transformation, innovation, resilience). A well-told story builds engagement and trust.
• Include keywords for SEO: Especially for online bios, weave in relevant keywords like “C-suite leader,” “technology strategist,” or “executive leadership” to boost discoverability.
• Keep it concise and structured: Use short paragraphs and subheadings where possible. A scannable format is crucial, especially online.
• Include a personal touch (sparingly): A brief mention of personal interests, causes, or board roles can humanise your profile and show well-roundedness.
• Update regularly: Your executive biography should evolve with your career. Review it at least once a year or after major milestones (new role, award, publication etc).
