This is the best summary I could come up with:
Along with the network failure which left almost half of Australia disconnected, she was at the helm during a major data breach last year.
The chief executive of Optus's Singaporean parent company thanked her for her hard work during a "challenging period" - pointing out she had improved financial performance despite being appointed at the beginning of the pandemic.
The outage on 8 November left 10 million Australians and thousands of businesses without mobile or internet coverage for over 12 hours.
The failure caused transport delays, cut hospital phone lines, shut down payment systems, and blocked about 200 people from calling emergency services.
Ms Bayer Rosmarin has faced criticism over her response to the incident, including at a Senate hearing on Friday.
Optus had apologised and blamed a sophisticated cyber-attack, but critics disputed that, including the Minister for Cyber Security who said the firm had "effectively left the window open" for data to be stolen.
