After just 15 months in the post, Helloworld CEO Elizabeth Gaines is stepping down.
"I’ve been with the business for seven years," Gaines said, who was previously the company’s chief financial officer.
"I’ve decided after that seven-year period it was time to look for other opportunities."
Gaines departure follows predecessor Rob Gurney’s resignation early last year after just 18 months at the helm.
Gaines will continue in the role for up to six months until a successor is appointed.
"The board will commence a search process for Elizabeth’s replacement to lead Helloworld through the next phase of growth," said chairman Brett Johnson.
The Qantas-backed company is undergoing a major restructuring and during Gaines’ tenure the share price has risen 15%.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce recently said the Helloworld business could be sold once it completes its transformation program.
During the program, Helloworld has integrated a network of 1,500 branded and independent agents throughout Australia, and continues to beef up its online presence.
