    Country Road Group CEO Raju Vuppalapati has announced his resignation, a year after the company became mired in a bullying and harassment scandal. 

    Mr Vuppalapati announced on Wednesday he will depart in August after four years in the top job, planning to ‘pursue personal interests’. 

    His exit caps a turbulent year for the Woolworths Holdings-owned retailer, which includes the Country Road, Mimco, Witchery, Trenery and POLITIX brands. 

    In October, Mr Vuppalapati warned staff the group was facing a ‘perfect storm’ of headwinds after posting its worst financial year on record.

    The downturn followed an external investigation into workplace misconduct, launched in May 2023 after complaints were made against then-chief supply chain officer Rachid Maliki. 

    Mr Vuppalapati had appointed Maliki to the role in 2022 after working with him at RM Williams.

    According to The Sydney Morning Herald, some staff opposed the decision to retain Mr Vuppalapati following the scandal, with a number threatening to leave the company in protest.

    Woolworths Holdings chief executive Roy Bagattini said the outgoing chief executive had helped to reshape the group’s structure and culture. 

    ‘The business transformation has been one of the most pivotal strategic initiatives undertaken by the group, positioning the business strongly to resume its profitable growth trajectory,’ he said on Wednesday. 

    Mr Vuppalapati said his time at the helm of Country Road Group had been an ‘honour and a privilege’, adding he was optimistic over its future performance. 

    ‘Whilst these decisions are never easy, I take great comfort in knowing that I leave CRG well positioned to enter this next chapter with compelling strategies, a clear pathway to improving profitability, and talented teams committed to executing our plans,’ he said in a statement. 

    More to come.
