Kylie Hammond
Executive Search, Career Coach, HR Practitioner
Kylie Hammond is an executive search consultant, career coach and HR practitioner. For more than twenty years she has worked with organisations on executive recruitment and selection, and with individuals on career transition, career mentoring, and the development of a career and Board Portfolio®.
She has worked with executive candidates for more than twenty years, and delivered thousands of hours of one-to-one coaching. The work is confidential. Achieving amazing results together has been the standard of the practice from the beginning.
“The job landscape has never been more complicated. Executive candidates need the right advice, and the right HR business partner.”
Who Kylie Works With
Securing Top Talent
CEOs, chairs and HR directors who need to appoint the very best next generation of board director or executive talent. One partner on the search, from briefing through to offer.

Changing roles. Proactive job-seeker assistance. Securing a promotion. Negotiating a better salary package. One-to-one career mentoring during the role, and through the move, including executive leadership.

Executive Search & Recruitment
On the client side, Kylie works with CEOs, chairs and HR directors who need to appoint an executive or a board member. She conducts executive search and selection assignments from briefing through to offer: role definition, market mapping, confidential approach, interviews and referencing.
She is engaged as a human resources partner on senior appointments. Assignments sit at general manager, C-suite and director level, and include board search and advisory where the organisation requires a considered appointment rather than a public advertisement.
Before establishing her own practice she held senior roles with Gartner, Cisco Systems, PeopleSoft and Deloitte. That corporate background informs the search work. She has sat inside the organisations that hire, not only across the table from them.
Career Transition & Career Mentoring
Kylie works with people through career transition at all levels. Changing roles. Securing a promotion. Negotiating a salary package. Moving industry. Returning to the market after a long tenure. The work is career mentoring as much as career coaching: a structured conversation about the next chapter, not only the next application.
Career mentoring covers personal branding, résumé and LinkedIn, interview preparation, and a search that includes the unadvertised market as well as advertised roles. Introductions to search firms and hiring managers are made where that is the right course.
Executives who have been released, or who are funding their own transition, receive the same one-to-one service. HR directors engage the practice when they need a considered outplacement for a mid-to-senior executive.
Career & Board Portfolio®
Some clients want more from their career and business life. They want a career and Board Portfolio®: a portfolio of multiple appointments where they can add value, diversify income streams, and stay current and commercially engaged. Kylie works with those clients on the structure of that portfolio, and on the search that sits underneath it.
Board work is part of that picture when it is the right next chapter. It is not the only chapter. The starting point is the person in front of her, and what they require from the market.
Background & Credentials
Kylie has more than twenty years in executive search, recruitment and human capital, and thousands of hours of practical coaching experience. She holds a Master of Laws in Enterprise Governance from Bond University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Relations from the University of Western Australia. The LLM informs how she works with chairs and HR directors on appointments: board composition, governance, risk, remuneration and structure, not only a shortlist.
She is a certified practitioner of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI), a member of the Career Development Association of Australia (CDAA), the Recruitment, Consulting and Staffing Association (RCSA) and the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), and an Extended DISC certified trainer. She is also a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
She is the Founder and CEO of Tiger Boards, a leading board search practice in the Asia-Pacific region.
Get in touch if you are an HR director with a senior appointment to make, an organisation that needs board search and advisory, or an executive considering a career move, a promotion, a salary negotiation, Executive Outplacement, or a career and Board Portfolio®. Kylie would welcome a confidential conversation.
