Resumes probably don’t matter at that level. From my own observations, executives are all hired through a buddy system. Someone always worked with someone else, or went to school with that person or was a neighbor or something. For startups that I have worked for, CEO selection was made by recommendations from the board.
I personally have never seen an exec get hired via the standard process of recruiters or resume submissions. It’s not to say that doesn’t happen though. Us commoners are usually removed from that process.
