Stefan Kozak, CEO of North America for the Austria-based company, and Amy Taylor, North America president and chief marketing officer were let go, the energy drink company confirmed on Tuesday.
Kozak and Taylor had lobbied in recent weeks for more diversity in the company and were blamed for the leak of a letter that criticized Red Bull’s ‘public silence’ on Black Lives Matter.
Florian Klaass, the Austrian-based head of global head of music, entertainment, and culture marketing, was also fired.
All three were told they were losing their jobs on Monday, Business Insider reported.
