A former brokerage firm exec says she was hounded out of her job by a horndog CEO who sexually harassed her and then made her life hell after she rejected his advances.
In a $5 million Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Renee Mihalik says Cheuvreux North America chief Ian Peacock kept “pictures of nude women and other sexually explicit images on his computer, including a man hanging upside down from his genitals,” propositioned her, and made inappropriate comments about her appearance.
Mihalik, 38, said she was excited to go to work for the European firm when she was hired as vice-president in 2007, but her British boss soon made the job intolerable. “The place is out of control. It’s a frat house,” Mihalik said.
A rep for Cheuvreux did not return a call for comment.
