Michelle has an MBA from Duke University, attended Wharton Executive Education, and is a Certified Public Accountant.
Did You Know?
Did you know that a resume or bio alone is not enough in today's market?
Board, Executive, and Company recruiters look for candidates to have a STRONG AND UP TO DATE resume, bio, LinkedIn profile, and online presence that is positioned correctly and tells a cohesive story that is UNIQUE, and not only meets their requirements, but STANDS OUT FROM ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) & THE CROWD.
If you do not have all of these components done correctly, they won’t say anything. They will simply MOVE ON.
"Resumes, Bios, and LinkedIn Profiles are not summaries. They are strategic marketing tools."
- Michelle Diamond, CEO, Diamond Executive Resumes
UNIQUE STORYTELLING & THE RIGHT POSITIONING are more important to achieving success and getting the role you want, since recruiters, hiring managers, and Board Chairs are inundated with AI and generally positioned based resumes, bios, and LinkedIn profiles THAT ALL LOOK THE SAME.

Situational Readiness (Individual)
Board Solutions
Board Ready Activation
(Moving From Board Interested to Board Ready - For First Time Corporate Board Candidates)
An accomplished executive or entrepreneur may be qualified for a board seat, but lacks a board-specific value proposition, a target board thesis, the right network map, and confidence in board interviews and board level conversations.
Michelle Diamond, CEO, Diamond Executive Resumes, can help first time board candidates overcome these hurdles and achieve their desired corporate board seats.
Board Portfolio Career Optimization
& Refresh
(Seasoned Board Members)
The need for branding does not stop once you get on a corporate board. You may be seeking additional board seats to enhance your overall portfolio or already have an extensive board career. However, your overall positioning to the market is outdated and has not been refreshed to reflect your current value or accomplishments.
Michelle Diamond, CEO, Diamond Executive Resumes, can help you, as a seasoned board member, reposition or revise your overall branding to the market to achieve next steps.
Executive Solutions
Executive Reinvention & Transition
You may be looking for your next opportunity, want to be prepared in both best and worse case scenarios, may be in a situation reactively (i.e. layoff, reorganization, passed for promotion, merger, sale) or proactively (burnout, no longer satisfied in your current role or career, evaluating what you want to do next) and need help to not only navigate, but reposition and transition to achieve your goals.
Michelle Diamond, CEO, Diamond Executive Resumes, can work with you to help you identify and prepare for your next executive level or other opportunity.
Executive Reinvention & Transition
(Over 50+ Years Old)
When you are over 50+ years old, you may be in a situation reactively (i.e. layoff, reorganization, passed for promotion, merger, sale) or proactively (burnout, planned retirement, no longer satisfied in your current role or career, evaluating what you want to do in your next chapter - i.e. another operating role, board path, fractional leadership, advisory work, teaching, entrepreneurship, or a portfolio of several roles), and need help to not only navigate, but reinvent and transition.
Michelle Diamond, CEO, Diamond Executive Resumes, can work with you to help you identify and prepare for what's next.
