Optus CEO GONE – Kelly Bayer Rosmarin resigns as Optus boss

After an 18 months she’ll never forget, Optus’ parent company Singtel has announced that CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin has tendered her resignation.

Ms Rosmarin said “it had been an honour to serve as Optus CEO but that it was an appropriate time to step down.”

“On Friday I had the opportunity to appear before the Senate to expand on the cause of the network outage and how Optus recovered and responded. I was also able to communicate Optus’ commitment to restore trust and continue to serve customers. Having now had time for some personal reflection, I have come to the decision that my resignation is in the best interest of Optus moving forward,” she said.

“It’s been an honour and privilege to lead the team at Optus and to serve our customers. I am proud of the team’s many achievements, and grateful for the support of the Optus team, Moon, and the Group. I wish everyone and the company every success in the future.”

Singtel Group CEO Yuen Kuan Moon said, “Optus appointed Kelly at the beginning of the pandemic, and we acknowledge her leadership, commitment and hard work throughout what has been a challenging period and thank her for her dedication and service to Optus.”

“Kelly has always led with integrity and had all stakeholders’ best interests at heart. We understand her decision and wish her the very best in her future endeavours.”

Optus has appointed their Chief Financial Officer as Interim CEO while a search for a new leader begins.
