Cerebral Inc. has replaced Chief Executive Kyle Robertson, according to a statement released by the company, a move Mr. Robertson called illegal after accusing board members of making him a scapegoat for the mental-health startup’s troubles.
The board said in the statement that it has replaced Mr. Robertson with David Mou, the company’s president and chief medical officer. The leadership tumult comes as the company is facing a federal probe into its prescription practices and possible violations of the Controlled Substances Act.
