01 · Branding
Your personal branding is not working.
The market still reads you as an executive, not a director. Boards do not appoint a job title. They appoint a director identity, and yours is not landing.
Board Portfolio® Platinum · Tiger Boards
A 12-month, high-touch partnership with Kylie Hammond, LLM EntGov, founder of Tiger Boards — one of Australia’s largest board search practices. For accomplished executives ready to convert decades of leadership into paid board and advisory seats, and the flexibility and prestige that come with serving in the boardroom.
Confidential discussion with Kylie Hammond, LLM EntGov. Direct. No obligation.
Board, advisory and committee seats that compound into a second career.
A career you design around the work and the life you actually want.
The standing that comes with being appointed, not just applying.
A seat at the table where strategy is set and organisations are steered.
Kylie Hammond · LLM EntGov · CEO & Founder, Tiger Boards
Master of Laws in Enterprise Governance. The legal and governance side of the table, not a generic career coach.
Recruiting board members for more than two decades — Chair, NED, committee, investor-director and advisory appointments.
Founder of one of Australia’s largest board search practices, and a private network most executives never reach.
Educating and mentoring director talent, and building Board Portfolio® careers across a significant span of that practice.
Why executives come to Platinum
The trigger is rarely ambition. It is the moment you see the gaps: branding that does not work, no unique value proposition, applications into a public sliver of the market, no interviews, no traction with headhunters, unpaid seats that will not commercialise, and no relationships with the people who actually appoint.
01 · Branding
The market still reads you as an executive, not a director. Boards do not appoint a job title. They appoint a director identity, and yours is not landing.
02 · Unique value proposition
Without a sharp UVP you cannot target the right roles. You chase seats that will never appoint you, and miss the ones that would.
03 · Applications
Advertised roles are a fraction of what exists. You apply into portals, you do not know anyone on the board, and the unadvertised market stays closed.
04 · Interviews
Not to interview. Not into the recruitment process. If the phone is not ringing, the issue is visibility and access, not whether you have enough experience.
05 · Headhunters
Approaching corporate headhunters and getting no traction is the usual pattern. A self-directed search without a plan can take three to five years. Platinum is built to compress that.
06 · Unpaid work
A couple of not-for-profit appointments is a start, not a portfolio. Paid commercial, private and advisory seats take a different brand, a different search, and a network that actually appoints.
07 · The network
Chairs. Non-executive directors. Committee members. Corporate headhunters. Family offices. Private equity and venture capital principals. The bulk of board seats are filled behind closed doors through people who already know who they want to meet. That network is the difference, and the core of Kylie’s practice.
The hidden appointment market
The majority of board and advisory seats never appear in a public advertisement. They are discussed privately, then offered to someone already known, already positioned, already introduced.
Board Portfolio® Platinum plugs you into Tiger Boards’ private network — warm introductions, unadvertised vacancies, and advocacy from Kylie Hammond in rooms you cannot reach on your own.
That is not a mailing list. It is how appointments actually happen.

How we work together
Drawn from the practice we have run for years: refine the brand boards expect to see, assess readiness for Chair, NED and committee seats, open the right network, craft applications that get read, and coach the interview so you show up as a director, not a candidate.

If the branding is wrong, the applications are going nowhere, the interviews are not coming, and you do not have the director network behind closed doors — this is the conversation to have.
