Why do female executives have affairs with the male senior executives they work for or with?

Because they spend a lot of time around younger, attractive women who look up to them professionally. It's always been rampant. The women are attracted to these men because they're successful, powerful, and wealthy and if they work for them, may have a bit of hero-worship going on. Sometimes it's entirely consensual, sometimes it's coercive to some degree. The powerful man pursues and the subordinate woman lacks the bravery, confidence, and security to curtail things. It used to be only secretaries, paralegals, receptionists, a la Mad Men. Now that there are women executives, the affairs happen at a higher level too.

Nothing new, other than the women's higher position.

This. Not to mention...because they're there. Never underestimate the power of proximity and long hours at work.

+1. Infidelity is much more about opportunity than most people want to admit.

It’s their way of getting [a]head at the office.

BTW - the CEO is married and has two kids. This was a very poor decision by the CEO, as it leaves him open to blackmail and manipulation. Who knows what other bad decisions he may be hiding? What he does in his personal life to violate trust may leaves shareholders, employees, and fellow leaders doubting his judgment and trustworthiness.

His wife is a really good looking Harvard MBA. If he doesn't want her, I'll take her.

Hopefully she takes him to the cleaners. I'd love to have heard what he told her over the past few days.
