Executive CVs can start with a summary because at this level, you need to establish scope immediately. "$85M P&L" and "450 employees" tell a hiring committee exactly where this person operates.

The executive-cv template is the right choice. Clean, professional, no frills. The content does the talking.

Every metric in this CV maps to something a board cares about: safety record, production efficiency, cost reduction, on-time delivery. "87 OEE" isn't just a number; it's industry benchmark territory. "Zero OSHA recordables" over two years is a genuine achievement.

The Six Sigma Black Belt certification goes in a dedicated section because it signals methodology, not just results. Plant managers who can teach continuous improvement are more valuable than those who just know it.

Notice the career progression: Production Supervisor to Operations Manager to Plant Manager. That's a manufacturing career path, and seeing it clearly demonstrates depth of experience.
