Quentin Kilian OAM
The Statesman CEO
A trusted Leader, Board Director, Mentor and Advisor with a track record of transformation, growth, and meaningful change, in Australia, USA and across the Asia-Pacific.
International strategic leader. OAM-recognised executive. Trusted organisational advisor.
I am a senior executive and board-level leader with more than 30 years’ experience guiding organisations, industries, and governments through transformation, growth, and complex strategic environments. My career spans Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Asia-Pacific and the United States, with leadership roles across property, international trade, government policy, international diplomacy, corporate advocacy, regulatory compliance & market access, broadcast media and the APAC business landscape.
Across multiple CEO appointments and senior government roles, I have built a reputation for strategic clarity, organisational renewal, crisis navigation, and high-level stakeholder engagement. I have transformed industry bodies, strengthened governance and accountability frameworks, rebuilt culture and operational systems, and led policy dialogues that shape national and international outcomes.
Recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to industry and community, I bring a disciplined, ethical, and outcomes-driven approach to leadership. I am motivated by roles that require decisive action, clear direction, and the ability to bridge diverse interests - whether guiding an organisation through change, providing independent strategic insights, or stepping in as a trusted interim executive.
My professional work now centres on these key offerings:
Strategic & Transformational Leadership,
Board & Non-Executive Directorship,
Management Consulting,
Mentoring, and
Interim Executive Engagements
- each grounded in the same principles of integrity, accountability, and measurable impact.
