Resume for non-finance jobs after PE

I’m looking to move from PE into strategy/ops type roles. My current resume is typical finance format and focuses on the deals I’ve done. Does anyone have advice for how best to leverage my experience (~5 years across IB and PE) and format a resume for a strategy (or similar) role?

Thanks

“Julius was extremely helpful in breaking down the accounting concepts, especially allowing me the opportunity to walk through a question step by step on how the three financial statements are impacted across income, cash flow and balance sheet along with figuring out the mental math for it all. The concept for Equity Value to Enterprise value and bridging between the two were fairly straight forward. Along with the networking advice on reaching out to potential recruiters for Investment banking roles and how lateral recruitement is happening year end vs going into Q1 next year.”
