About this template
The Australia Executive template is a leadership variant in Lora with a deep ochre band and a leadership summary at the top. Three-page structure with boards and committees section, P&L impact bullets, and explicit ASX, APRA and AICD references where governance credentials matter. The serif typography immediately signals the seniority level targeted.
Who is it for?
It fits senior executives targeting the Australian corporate market — VPs, MDs, CEOs, country heads and C-suite candidates who apply to ASX-listed companies (CSL, BHP, Commonwealth Bank, Wesfarmers, Telstra), the Big Four banks, large mining groups (Rio Tinto, Fortescue, Newcrest, Northern Star) and federal Crown corporations. Designed for profiles whose governance experience is judged through the AICD (Australian Institute of Company Directors) lens.
How to use it
The leadership summary at the top runs five to seven lines and synthesises career pattern: cumulative P&L scope, geographies, transformation sectors led. The Board and committees section lists each mandate with dates, type (NED, Chair, SID, Audit Chair, Remuneration Chair) and jurisdiction (ASX-listed, ASIC-registered private, Government Business Enterprise). AICD certifications (GAICD, FAICD) are mentioned after the name in the personal block. Reverse chronology on executive roles, dated deals and transformation programmes.
Frequently asked questions
Are three pages really needed for an AU executive profile?
Yes. The Australian executive market accepts and values detail — every board mandate, every deal and every P&L must be dated and sourced. A single page reads as a junior signal or a non-serious application, unlike the US standard.
When to mention AICD certifications?
Always, in the header. GAICD (Graduate of the AICD) and FAICD (Fellow) are markers read first by local headhunters (Egon Zehnder Sydney, Spencer Stuart, Korn Ferry Sydney, Russell Reynolds). Their absence on a board candidate profile undermines credibility — the AU equivalent of the IoD CDir or the NACD Directorship Certified.
How to position non-Australian experience?
Indicate the equivalence of structures: « Board of a EUR 1.2 bn revenue, Frankfurt-listed manufacturer (DAX MidCap) ». Specify whether governance was under European, US or Asian regulation. AU recruiters value cross-border experience if APAC expansion is part of the targeted mandate.
