Executive resume template
Executive sets your name in Source Serif 4 above a centered contact line, then closes the header with a heavy ink rule and a thin accent line beneath it. Section titles are small, widely spaced capitals and bullets use a quiet en dash in the accent color. The page stays restrained, which suits roles where judgment and seniority matter more than flair.

Executive template questions
Is a serif font a problem for an ATS?
No. Parsers read the text, not the typeface. Executive uses Source Serif 4 with Georgia as a fallback, and every heading is real text in a single column.
Executive or Corporate: which is more formal?
Corporate is the more traditional of the two, with an all-caps name and a double black rule. Executive is lighter, with a regular-weight name, an italic headline and a two-tone rule. Both are single column.
