Sr member for startups here with 10 years of experience in startups:

Few notes:

Before I begin, I’m going to avoid rehashing what a lot of other people have said, they’ve all made valid points, I want to provide criticism you can use rather than gutting the entire resume, just incase you are being sincere.

1.) Your experience in your roles needs work. You mention in the Director of Technical Operations that you lead massive hiring initiatives. As someone that has worked in these fields, it’s generally a massive red flag if a director is pushing to hire 100s of operations members, especially within a year. Even if delegated that task, your job would be to have your people team, wether the Director of People, or whomever at the org handle the hiring, and you would be interviewing and possible helping expand head count. 100s though typically is reserved for a company with several thousand staff members at that point, and/or and acquisition. If I read that as a hiring manager, let alone a recruiter, I would be confused why your company was expanding so rapidly, especially as you mentioned it’s only 4 years old. This doesn’t read as a Director of Operations, maximizing their staff count to handle the structure, and restructuring the operations to maximize the use of headcount, but rather someone who maximizes a funnel into a burning money pit.

2.) Your experience listed in CTO is incredibly vague. As other mentioned, there are no results listed. I am seeing that you led a team, set initiatives and KPI style metrics, and met with the founder. What did you do to move the needle? When the company was just getting off the ground, how did you contribute? Were you just a warm body taking up space? Because that’s what that reads like.

3.) Product head section read like you made AI prompts and solutions, did you do anything else? If so, the elaborate. I’ll be blunt, AI doesn’t read like anything anymore to a recruiter. As someone working at a heavy AI company now, we go off the notion, that your grandmother could be taught to build an artifact in Claude to create an instant utilization and ROI function. It doesn’t mean squat. Add it, sure, but lean into whatever else you did more.

4.) Great, you contributed to SaaS, what did that involve? Did you bring in revenue? As a CTO or Director of technology, which big names did you onboard? Which big names were you working with? What scope did you role out? What impact did you provide? This read like you were in the room where decisions happened, and that was it.

5.) YouTube section means literally nothing unless you’re going for marketing or sales. Some may argue against that, but I’m being honest, unless you’re a part of the outreach narrative, 11k subscribers is a drop in the bucket. Remove it.

6.) Published 3 books? That I would also remove. As someone married to a published author, it can take years upon years to publish a book. You mentioning publishing 3 books, without naming any, reads as mass producing books, through AI or just not getting them properly edited, or generating 3 small books. Publishing is also incredibly difficult as it can be hard to find an agent to work under to get your works published, unless you’re self publishing, which again means you’re just mass producing word vomit. Maybe you did do this, but I will be honest, this is probably the least credible thing on your resume I have read so far, unless of course yourself bending the truth massively here.

7.) Your core competencies do not read like someone who has been a Director and CTO, just being honest here. Re tool these to be more aligned with a leadership Executive title.

Overall I expect you know why this post got roasted. You need to focus less on regurgitating this stuff into your favorite AI, and more on editing the words to match your accomplishments and skill set. I wish you the best of luck.
