Ceo of microsoft biography template

As a marketer, my professional bio is the best way to, well, market myself.

From generalist to content strategist and agency to enterprise, my role has changed a lot over the last (almost) eight years.

And my professional bio has to keep up. Even though I can admit I don’t always feel like rewriting it.

But we all know we have to keep our professional bios refreshed to give people an accurate snapshot of who we are, why they should work with us, and why they should care about what we have to say.

For that reason alone (and because it’s my actual job), I’m here to share some of my favorite professional bio examples along with some tips from years of reworking my own.

What is a professional bio?

A professional bio or biography is a quick rundown of your background and experience.

Your bio should include details about your professional expertise, skills, and achievements, but it’s also an opportunity to show off your personality and personal interests.
