Executive presentation skills, strong communication and leadership skills. Proven record of success in collaborating with business and leading engineering teams to design and implement innovative, scalable and reliable enterprise solutions that improve user experience and drive business growth." Following the introduction, you can add 2-3 recent accomplishments, preferably with tangible results. Here is an example: "Led development of next generation service management solution, based on Google cloud-native enterprise services, enabling improved performance and operational cost savings of $2.5M/year." Another thing you can consider adding as part of your introduction is a list of key areas of expertise which can be visually organized by a) soft/interpersonal skills, for example “Cross-Functional Team Leadership”, b) technology expertise, for example “Google Cloud Platform” and c) process expertise, for example “SDLC (Waterfall/Agile/Scrum)” Your resume and your LinkedIn introduction are your opportunity to effectively present yourself, showcase your specialties and how you can create value.
