In 2006 Matthew Quinn was voted by fund managers the most admired CEO and Stockland the most admired company (BRW East Coles survey). These accolades recognise the strategy, focus on long-term growth and consistent delivery of strong shareholder returns at Australia’s largest diversified property group.
When Matthew Quinn joined Stockland in 1999 it had a market capitalisation of $1.5 billion and about 300 staff. Since his appointment as Managing Director in 2000, the company has quadrupled in size. However recent market conditions have tested Australia’s property sector more than ever.

Welcome to AFR BOSS
MARCH issue out now!
AFR BOSS was a stripling newbie in March 2000. Readers asked then - as they do now - why name it BOSS? It's so hierarchical, it smacks of the things we want to see change about the rigidities of corporate life. Yes, we talk to the boss - and our conversations with leaders at all levels of the organisation help us learn from each other.
