Cerebral Inc. directors voted to oust the mental telehealth giant’s founder and chief executive officer, Kyle Robertson, on Wednesday, as the booming industry draws scrutiny from federal law enforcement and patient advocates.
Robertson had built Cerebral into a $4.8 billion behemoth in online mental health, but alarmed his own clinicians with what they described as an emphasis on attracting customers that medical experts said threatened patient safety. The board appointed David Mou, Cerebral’s president and chief medical officer, as the new CEO.
