Adrienne Tom

Co-Founder | Small Business and Productivity Coach for Career Pros

Every executive has a career story. The difference between being overlooked and being invited forward is how clearly your story demonstrates impact and relevance at the next level.

Too often, resumes read like job descriptions. Responsibilities are listed, but context is missing. Outcomes are implied instead of proven. Yet, boards and decision-makers are not looking for what you were responsible for. They are looking for evidence of how you think, what you drive, and where you can take their organization next.

For 15+ years, I’ve partnered with C-Suite, VP, and Director-level leaders across Canada and the U.S., translating complex careers into executive narratives that hold up in boardrooms, recruiter conversations, and high-stakes decision environments. This work is not about job searching. It’s about positioning, readiness, and control of your professional narrative before opportunity requires it.

I help leaders uncover the stories behind their successes and translate them into persuasive, market-ready career files. Stories that make decision-makers stop and pay attention.

As Canada’s first Certified Executive Resume Master (CERM), a 32X award winner, and a 10X certified career professional, I bring expertise in executive resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and leadership branding that position leaders as the candidate of choice. 

How I help executives tell their story:
◆ Craft executive resumes and narratives that go beyond ‘responsibilities’ to decision-level impact
◆ Unearth results and value that are not easy to spot yourself
◆ Translate experience into strategic stories that resonate with boards and hiring teams
◆ Deliver polished, market-ready career files aligned to next-level leadership goals

The executives I work with have gone on to:
• Step into C-Suite, VP, and Director roles with greater confidence and leverage
• Strengthen visibility with boards, investors, and executive search firms
• Secure roles with Fortune 500 companies, high-growth firms, and complex, multibillion-dollar organizations

Recognition and expertise:
⚜ Featured in Forbes, The Globe and Mail, NBC News, and Calgary Herald
⚜ Named one of LinkedIn’s Top Voices in Job Search and Careers
