Nvidia board considers ousting CEO Jensen Huang following affair revelations
Nvidia's board is considering ousting CEO Jensen Huang following reports of a second internal affair alongside an ongoing intelligence probe into his relationship with a suspected Chinese agent.
Nvidia's board of directors met to deliberate on the future of Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following fresh reports detailing personal misconduct. Sources indicate the board met on Wednesday evening to discuss his potential removal, though no formal decision has been officially announced.
The high-level discussions follow reports by The New York Times alleging Huang engaged in an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, a senior vice president at Nvidia. The revelation comes alongside an ongoing internal probe into Huang's admitted affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman US intelligence officials suspect of operating as an agent for China's Ministry of State Security.
While Nvidia previously stated there is no evidence that corporate secrets or national security were compromised, the compounding personal scandals and intelligence scrutiny have placed significant pressure on the co-founder's leadership.
