Bubs Australia (BUB) has axed long-serving CEO, Kristy Carr, with immediate effect after alleging she failed to comply with “reasonable board directions”.

The company also announced former Executive Chair Dennis Lin’s employment with Bubs was also terminated.

Bubs Australia Chair Katrina Rathie thanked Ms Carr for her time in shaping the company into what it is today.

“We acknowledge Kristy’s long service to Bubs and the role she has played in building the Bubs brand to the position it enjoys today,” she said.
