Maggie Beer Holdings CEO, Kinda Grange, has resigned, 15 months after she was appointed to the role. Grange says she's looking to progress her career and will remain with the company until a new CEO is found.

MBH chair, Sue Thomas, said the board and company wanted to acknowledge Grange's "significant contribution" as CEO.

At 100 days as CEO, Grange set the goal of quadrupling sales in five years, to become a $300 million company. She said there was an almost $36.6 billion scope in market opportunity for MBH – $8.3 billion in food, $5.8 billion in lifestyle/culture, and $22.5 billion in gifting.

"Kinda has successfully expanded the Maggie Beer brand to deliver strong growth and has step changed our B2B strategy to improve sales in our e-commerce business," Thomas said.

Grange said it had been a privilege to lead a company with such an iconic brand and long-term growth opportunities.

Prior to MBH, Grange was joint MD for Goodman Fielder Australia.
