The LinkedIn Profile
Architecture Whitepaper

A Strategic LinkedIn Profile Playbook for CEOs, Founders & Leadership Teams

Your profile is evaluated before you ever speak

By investors screening deal flow. By candidates evaluating employers. 
By customers assessing credibility. By journalists researching background.

Most executive profiles fail—not because of weak credentials, 
but because they're unstructured and strategically silent.

Why I Built This Framework

I'm advising CEOs on Capital, M&A, Executive Branding and Narrative Design.
I’ve been a Venture Partner at EQT Ventures, an MD at Microsoft, Samsung Next Ventures, Wix.com, C3 Creative Code and Content, and more international tech companies and funds.
I've seen how executive presence shapes capital, talent, and market perception long before the first meeting.
This playbook distills what works – no fluff, no tactics, just strategic clarity.

Who This Playbook Is For

This framework is built for leaders who treat LinkedIn as what it actually is at executive level:
a strategic interface between you, your company, and the outside world.

  • CEOs and Founders building company brand
  • Leadership teams aligning their presence
  • VPs who need their profile to work at board level

“Iskender worked with our entire leadership team to optimize our LinkedIn profiles for maximum impact – attracting top talent, building customer trust, and creating investor visibility. His framework is exceptional and the results speak for themselves.”
