From Kiss Cam to Nestlé: The CEOs who lose their jobs over office liaisons

Nestle CEO joins Irish man Bernard Looney in group of C-Suite members to lose their jobs over office romances

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron lost his job in July, after being caught in a clinch on a stadium ‘kiss cam’ with the technology firm’s chief people officer at a Coldplay concert.

The fraternity of corporate chiefs ousted over an office romance just added a new member.

Nestlé CEO Laurent Freixe lost his job this week after an investigation found he had had an undisclosed romantic relationship with a subordinate. Freixe is not alone. Whether it’s exposed via social media or by a whistleblower, C-Suite dalliances continue to cause turmoil atop some of the world’s biggest companies, raising the question of whether internal corporate alarm systems are working — or not.
