An Indian-origin lawyer has been fired in the US over an alleged 'inappropriate workplace relationship' with the CEO of her company.
Nabanita Nag, the Chief Legal Officer at Norfolk Southern Corporation, Atlanta, was terminated from her role after an investigation into allegations that she was in a consensual relationship with her boss Alan Shaw, who was also fired as CEO.
Though the relationship was consensual, the two officials violated company policies and code of ethics by engaging in a relationship, Norfolk Southern Corporation said.
The move "comes in connection with preliminary findings from an ongoing investigation that determined Shaw violated company policies by engaging in a consensual relationship with the company's chief legal officer. Shaw's departure is unrelated to the company's performance, financial reporting and results of operations," Norfolk Southern Corporation said in a press release.
In her LinkedIn profile, Nabanita Nag has called herself a "seasoned leader" with who works with three Fortune 300 public companies. She formerly worked at Goldman Sachs.
She was appointed Chief Legal Officer in 2022 and Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs in 2023.
She joined Norfolk Southern in 2020 as General Counsel. She earned a bachelor's degree in Government and English from Georgetown University, and a Juris Doctor (JD) from the New York University's School of Law.
Now, Mark R George, the company's Chief Financial Officer, has been named president and CEO after the sackings.
