Executive Cover Letter Example

I run a $65 million division of Larkfield Services Group spanning three business lines and 410 employees, growing it from $48 million over three years while lifting operating margin from 9% to 15%. I'm applying for your Executive opening because I want to take that same business-unit ownership into an organization ready for someone to run a piece of the business like it's their own company.

I integrated two acquisitions into the division without losing a major account during either transition, folding both into our existing operating model within six months each. Margin improvement came from renegotiating our largest vendor contracts and consolidating back-office functions across the combined business lines, not from cutting the frontline teams that do the work.

I built an executive bench of four direct reports, all promoted internally rather than hired from outside, and I report division performance directly to our CEO and board every quarter. I own full P&L responsibility, including pricing, capital allocation and workforce planning for the division.

I'd welcome a conversation about the scope [Company name] has in mind for this role and where you'd want an owner-operator mindset applied first, and how quickly. I'm available for an interview at your convenience.
