Australia's largest superannuation consultancy practice, IQ Business Group, has hired two senior managers.

Australia's largest superannuation consultancy practice, IQ Business Group, has hired two senior managers.

Elizabeth North has been hired as general manager for IQ's operations consulting division and Brian Mitchell has been given the job of account executive.

North has 25 years' experience in super administration companies and software development organisations.

IQ would not disclose her previous jobs due to commercial sensitivities, a company spokesperson said.

 
 

She will be based in Sydney and report to IQ chief executive Graham Sammells.

Her responsibilities will include managing projects for the operations consulting practice, including business process and data quality management.

Mitchell joins from Financial Synergy, where he was general manager of the group's platform business for the past five years.

Mitchell, who has clocked up around 20 years in the super industry, will work in Melbourne and be responsible for business development and account management.

His clients will include large super funds and administrators, and boutique operators.

Both jobs are newly-created positions.

IQ provides technology products and business process services to the superannuation industry and employs 80 consultants in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
