I really enjoyed the program starting with the foundation of:
- Ideal Role Type
- Unique Value Proposition
- Updating LinkedIn and resume to focus on where I want to be and not just a chronological list of positions I've held;
- Automating getting those messages out to key people in the right companies.
- Ongoing support and knowing I have a person to chat with whenever I have questions or issues
- Mock interviews to build communication and self-confidence

Got me fast results, landed dream role with top pay
I can’t speak highly enough about the entire ambitious exec process and results. I was able to secure another VP role the same day I parted from my last job. They helped me with a few really crucial pieces. First, defining my brand narrative as an executive. This really helped differentiate me in a market where competition is stiff. Second, they helped me prepare for interviews through 1:1 coaching and group settings where I was able to connect with other executives and build my network. Third, they helped me craft a powerful LinkedIn strategy that not only overhauled my profile to be polished and reflective onlf my track record but also provided me with outreach messages that actually got responses. Shortly after signing on I was getting recruiters in my inbox and responses from companies I was applying to. I not only secured an offer back to back from my last role but had 3 different compelling offers. I was already at the top of comp band for my role and many companies weren’t able to fund that salary but ambitious exec actually helped me negotiate above the top comp pay band and increased my salary which I thought was impossible at this level. I’m really grateful for their hands on approach, care, detail and knowledge. If you are unsure, take the leap you won’t regret it

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and success! Securing a VP role the same day you exited your last position is no small feat—and it speaks volumes about your drive and the clarity you brought to the process. We’re especially glad the work around your brand narrative, interview prep, and LinkedIn strategy helped position you powerfully and open real doors. Congratulations on the multiple offers and a compensation win at the top of your band—we’re proud to have been part of the journey!

I have had nothing but positive
About 15 months ago, I made up my mind that it was time for a career change as I was spending too much time at work and not enough time with my precious baby. I found Ambitious Exec and decided to make an investment. Very soon after, I hired the right leadership at work, the demands eased, and my husband and I decided it was the right time to expand our family. Chris and the team at Ambitious Exec took the time to meet with me and listen to what was important in my life. They graciously worked with me on a timeline that would allow me to bring home my second child. I can't thank them enough for their flexibility and for caring about the investment I made in their program. I look forward to the end result now that I can give it my full attention.

Ambitious Exec worth the investment
I’ve gone through all initial steps, step will be turning on my workforce search engine.
I could not be happier with the results so far! My resume looks far better than my previous resume that I had made, My LinkedIn is set for a much higher optimization level.
The team has been great, especially Queen that is always there to lead me in the right direction. She is always available to help and keep the process running smoothly.

The ability to talk to multiple career…
The ability to talk to multiple career coaches and get different perspectives and solutions to my thorny issues has been great. I feel like I have not just one advice but multiple ways to handling the interviews and networking together.

★★★★★ Game-Changer for Landing My Executive Role
After researching several reverse-recruiting firms, The Ambitious Exec stood out for its strategic, end-to-end program tailored specifically for high-performing executives. From day one, their structure, philosophy, and expert team made a huge difference.
The onboarding was fast, and I quickly gained traction through their IRT and UVP exercises. Organizing my top 50 contacts and defining target companies gave me a focused roadmap. Their writers transformed my resume into a powerful, metrics-driven marketing tool, and the LinkedIn rebrand doubled my profile views overnight.
Their HUB tool acted as a job-search CRM, keeping me on track. My coach, Sacha, was sharp, responsive—even on weekends—and instrumental in my interview and negotiation prep. I also learned to maximize tools like LinkedIn Navigator, We-Connect, and ChatGPT to improve my outreach.
Networking sessions and their referral engine opened doors I couldn’t have reached on my own. Thanks to the program, I moved from VP of Sales to President in the tech sector, with a 24% increase in Bay Area comp.
If you’re serious about landing your next exec role, this program is worth every penny. It’s not a shortcut—it’s a smart, empowering process that delivers results.
Highly recommended.
