new age resume?

our new CEO has tasked our HR to send his CV to us, so we can get to know him and his backgrounds better. instead, she re-sends this email, which was a welcome note from one of the top officers in our main office. when asked about the CV, she says that this is what our CEO had said during the meeting, that this suffices it. so now I know what a resume looks like *duh*
