Jane Doe, JD, MBA, CPA, PMI-PMP, PMI-ACP (That is someone's real title).
Is that too much? Or, would you proudly list all of it.
Well, it "feels" like too much so it probably is, but that suite of qualifications are not linear and cannot be assumed based on the others so they do paint a distinct picture. When people list "PhD, MA, BA" I find it silly because they are linear and the higher one replaces the lower. You really only need to list the PhD at that point. But having a JD doesn't imply an MBA, the MBA doesn't imply the CPA, and the CPA doesn't imply anything from PMI. That being said, I don't know what I would hire Ms. Doe for lol. That alphabet soup seems appropriate for an owner of a company that offers many services but unnecessary for any one particular service.
