"Heidi's committed and diligent work was fundamental to Optima executing the IPO in 2024, and the strong strategic progress made since, and leaves a strong platform for our future success.
"Heidi has been a great colleague and business partner, and I thank her for her service to Optima Health and wish her nothing but the best in her future."
Optima said further updates on the transition and interim appointment would be provided in due course.
