Back-office services provider MainstreamBPO has appointed Michael Houlihan as chief executive of its Group Benefits business - a provider of superannuation administration services.
Houlihan joined six weeks ago from Vanguard, where he was manager of retail product and technical services.
At Vanguard, he worked on establishing the firm's Australian exchange-traded fund offering.
Houlihan succeeds Greg Taylor, who is planning to retire from Group Benefits.
Taylor and Houlihan are no strangers, having worked together for the Australian branch of United States consultancy group Buck Consultants.
MainstreamBPO acquired Group Benefits in 2007 and is now planning to rename the business as SuperBPO to reflect the ownership structure.
The renaming of the business is likely to take place in February 2011.
