To run Windows-based applications, you have a number of choices:

  1. Install Windows under Boot Camp.

  2. Create a virtual Windows machine using a Virtual Machine (VM) application, like Parallels Desktop for Mac or VMware Fusion for Mac.
  3. Use Wine or something similar if you just need to run a single app.

Depending on what kind of application this exe is for, you may even be able to use Wine or Winebottler to run it on Mac.

If it requires more complex access to windows runtime files and other windows environment things, then you will need to install Windows through Bootcamp or Virtualize it as mentioned above,
