An Indian-origin lawyer, Nabanita Nag, who served as the Chief Legal Officer at Norfolk Southern Corporation, has been fired over an alleged 'inappropriate workplace relationship' with the CEO of the company.

Nag was terminated from her position following an internal investigation. The internal inquiry revealed that she was in a consensual relationship with Alan Shaw, the Chief Executive Officer, who has also been terminated.

According to the Norfolk Southern Corporation, the relationship between Nag and the CEO was consensual, however, the two officials violated company policies and code of ethics by engaging in a relationship.

In a press release, the company 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.”

In her LinkedIn profile, Nag has called herself a "seasoned leader" who works with three Fortune 300 public companies. She formerly worked at Goldman Sachs. She was appointed Chief Legal Officer of the Norfolk Southern Corporation in 2022 and Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs in 2023.
