In a prime-time address to his party's convention in Florida, the Republican presidential candidate vowed to rid the US of the "disappointments of the last four years" by ousting his opponent.
"President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet," Mr Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, was expected to say. "My promise is to help you and your family".
Finally confronting questions of his corporate career and Mormon faith that have dogged his campaign, the 65-year-old attempted to persuade voters that he had the experience and temperament for the job.
He described Bain Capital, the private equity firm where he made his $250 million (£160 million) fortune, as a "great American success story", rejecting Mr Obama's depiction of him as a vulture capitalist.
After unveiling a website about his career that claimed he "helped save thousands of jobs", Mr Romney pointed to his private sector experience as proof of his ability to end America's unemployment crisis, which has left 23 million people unemployed or seeking more work.
