dominated, conquered, vanquished, exploded, winning.
In all seriousness though, I think that what is more important is what you are "performing" rather than how you describe it (assuming you meet the baseline, which I'm assuming you do and can write at the level I am describing).
of course, but I want to avoid repeating the same words
Designed, implemented, recognized (for....), Elected, Developed, Prepared, Successfully completed..., Accomplished, Managed, Served, Organized, Created. Hah just read down the left hand column of my resume - hope that helps
pwned
slip "boned" in there
Illustrated benefits of re-sequencing $57MM R&D investment for industrial defense contractor start-up amending debt financing; boned VP of Philanthropy for client after pitch
talk about results
illustrated...calculated...demonstrated...conducted...automated...developed...created...coordinated

Performed is not a good action verb. You want a more specific word IMO.
i.e. "Constructed LBO model for the acquisition of XYZ by ABC Private Equity Group"
Go to your career services center. It should have a list, and hopefully one that is broken out by specialization.
Created, developed, managed, enhanced, devised, secured, delivered, restructured, raised, garnered, led, selected, received, headed.
Analyzed, researched, prepared
