Tony Danker said he has been used as the 'fall guy' and wrongly associated with separate misconduct claims since his dismissal.
He also admitted to messaging around 200 individual staff members at the company, but insisted it was to try and build"rapport" with colleagues who worked from home during and after the COVID lockdown.
The trade body has been rocked by allegations of a toxic workplace culture since Mr Danker was last month accused of allegedly making unwanted contact with a woman who works for CBI. She considered the contact to be sexual harassment, The Guardian reported at the time. Mr Danker denies the allegation.
"I was appalled to learn about them for the first time last week. I was nevertheless shocked to learn this morning that I had been dismissed from the CBI, instead of being invited to put my position forward as was originally confirmed.", the first part of which has been completed by law firm Fox Williams.
It comes after The Guardian said it was approached by more than a dozen women who claimed to be victims of various forms of sexual misconduct by senior members of the CBI who were not Mr Danker.The CBI said:"Tony Danker is dismissed with immediate effect following the independent investigation into specific complaints of workplace misconduct against him.
"The board wishes to make clear he is not the subject of any of the more recent allegations in The Guardian but has determined that his own conduct fell short of that expected of the director general."
