The two documents share a format and almost nothing else. They are written for different readers making different decisions.
A traditional resume answers a competence question: can this person perform the role? An executive resume answers a judgement question: should we place significant responsibility, capital or reputation in this person's hands?
That difference changes what belongs on the page. Scope, scale, accountability and decision quality move forward. Task-level detail moves back or disappears.
It also changes the tone. Executive documents are calm and evidential. Emphasis is created by structure and specificity, not by adjectives.
