About the facilitators
Kylie Hammond
Kylie Hammond is a leading board and executive search, board talent management consultant, and Australia’s foremost CEO Business Mentor.
Kylie Hammond is also the CEO and founder of Director Institute, Australia’s fastest growing network of Director talent.
Director Institute (www.directorinstitute.com.au) provides current and aspiring Board Directors with all the tools, resources and training needed to begin or expand a Board Portfolio. And, importantly provides access to the most comprehensive list of board roles available anywhere in the market.
The organisation was founded as a result of Kylie experiencing first hand the difficulties that senior executives experienced when looking to move into the boardroom. The issue of limited diversity on the boards of Australian organisations is well versed and includes issues of gender imbalance, and ‘off-market’ appointments made from small circles of applicants. With her focus, enthusiasm and energy, Kylie has challenged the status quo in regards to board recruitment and works directly with organisations that are building their boards, or looking for replacement directors, while at the same time working directly with aspiring directors looking to start their careers.
In the last 12 months alone Kylie has personally mentored over 400 senior executives and CEOs and completed over 2,500 board placements in the Australian market.

What others are saying.
About Kylie:
“In preparing myself for non-executive board roles, I attended Kylie’s inaugural course, in April 16 which, was insightful, challenging and attended by high calibre individuals. From the pre-course work and the workshop itself I came away with the right information and tools to understand what board positions I should target, how to articulate my value and how to select the appropriate companies. In addition to giving me access to some of Kylie’s inner network and mentors. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into Non Exec or Advisory Board roles.”

Thanks Kylie and thanks to the Director Institute team.”
