Today, we run the largest Board Search practice in the region and complete hundreds of search assignments each year. Many roles are never advertised, so knowing the market, as well as we do, helps us to unearth director opportunities that our members might otherwise never hear about.

Mark CreelmanChairman | Non-Executive Director

Kylie has been my mentor and coach during my transition from Executive Management to Board Member. 
Kylie’s experience and commitment to first-class coaching has provided inspiration and credibility to her clients and her company Director Institute provides exclusive board and talent management programs and board search opportunities that are confidential and available only to members. Kylie through Director Institute provides a unique opportunity to expand one’s career into the Board Room. I am very proud to be a member of Director Institute and have Kylie Hammond as my coach and mentor.

Steven FordAdvisory Board Member

Kylie is an exceptionally knowledgeable and empowering executive coach who constantly challenges and encourages me to reach my goals. She is an inspiring individual who generously shares her practical insight, experience and resources. I highly recommend Kylie to anyone wanting to achieve greater success in all areas of their life.

Leonie MurrayHuman Resources Director | Advisory Board Member

Last week I undertook to The Director Institute Masterclass – How to Fast-Track Your Career presented by Kylie Hammond CEO and Founder of Director Institute, and Sonia McDonald CEO from Leadership HQ – a one-day intensive program taking you from the Executive to the Boardroom. What a great event, lots of learning, focus on individual brand and leadership. And lots of great stories from participants of their journey. A must attend program.

Ric BlandAdvisory Board Member

If you ever have opportunity to work with or engage Kylie Hammond, don’t think twice! Engaging Kylie as a career coach is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Kylie is outstanding in her field and is an impressive entrepreneur. But it is her generosity and desire help others succeed that make her a truly inspirational career coach and leader.

Kim VellaChief Executive Officer | Executive Coach

I wanted to say thank you for a great event and extremely productive, informative and relevant Director Institute Platinum Intensive Board Portfolio Career session for the last two days. I have been at numerous such seminars and in most cases, one has to sit down, post the event to really identify the information that was disseminated. I could not have asked for a better “Cheat Sheet” for my board journey. Joining the Director’s Institute was best “Career” decision I have ever made. Thank you for the opportunity to network and I know I have made some lifelong friends. This gave me an opportunity to connect with friends with whom I can share a lifelong professional journey and not just limited to a board opportunity.

Ravi MadhavenChief Technology Officer | Board Director

I have enjoyed working with Kylie as she has given me the knowledge and skills I will need to continue to grow my career and grow my board portfolio. Kylie has a common sense approach and makes the journey in to this new territory very easy to navigate. She is an excellent communicator and has a broad range of professional people in her extensive network that bring skills, support and opportunity. I would recommend working with Kylie to anyone.

Michael CarterChief Executive Officer | Non-Executive Director

Thank you for organising and running the “Welcome to the Boardroom Masterclass” last Wednesday. It was a thoroughly invigorating and inspiring day and I learned such a lot. And, as a bonus, the opportunity to network with other, like minded people was unique. I believe this Masterclass will go a long way towards helping me to achieve my goals of finding and joining Boards to which I can meaningfully contribute. I don’t think there is any other organisation in Australia (or, perhaps, the world!) that does what the Director Institute does. Once again, thank you, and keep up the good work.

Sankar SubramanianNon-Executive Director | Advisory Board Member

I engaged Kylie at a critical point in my personal and professional career. Kylie’s guidance, advice and intuition from the moment we first met, through determining preferred employers and preparation of my profile has proved invaluable. Specific measurable outcomes – such as gaining employment with an organisation of choice, and ongoing referrals clearly highlights the value she has added. Kylie is more than a mentor for a new job, she provides the mentor for life that every C-Suite business leader needs.
