Gmail is far from the only provider to take knowledge learned from individual 
user activity into account when spam filtering. Perhaps your CEO has a habit of 
using Gmail's spam handling features to deal with legitimate mail, or has 
otherwise flagged a lot of similar messages as spam in the past?
While Google doesn't talk about the details, it seems that open and click rates 
are likely a factor too, perhaps the CEO sends a lot of stuff to himself that 
is deleted unread, Google may have decided this mail is less valuable for this 
recipient.
You can override using filters if needed.
