Nvidia's board met to discuss the potential removal of CEO Jensen Huang following reports of personal misconduct and intelligence scrutiny involving an alleged Chinese operative.

Nvidia’s board of directors has met to evaluate the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following new reports regarding personal misconduct. Sources indicate the board convened on Wednesday evening to address his potential removal, though no formal action has been publicly announced.

This meeting follows a report by The New York Times alleging that Huang engaged in an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, a senior vice president at Nvidia. The revelation comes alongside an internal investigation into his admitted relationship with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected by US intelligence agencies of acting as an operative for China's Ministry of State Security.

While Nvidia previously stated there is no indication that corporate secrets or national security have been compromised, compounding leadership scrutiny has placed significant pressure on the co-founder.
