Nvidia board meets to weigh removing CEO Jensen Huang amid security probe

Nvidia's board is meeting today to consider removing CEO Jensen Huang amid a national security probe triggered by his admitted affair with a Chinese businesswoman, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The board has been working with an outside firm on the decision. US officials suspect the woman, Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese intelligence asset who may have helped China secure Nvidia's AI chips, which are prohibited for sale to Beijing. She was a managing director at Megaspeed, Nvidia's main Asia-Pacific cloud partner. A New York Times report has also alleged Jensen Huang had a second affair with Nvidia vice president Kimberly Powell, who reports directly to him. Jensen Huang has not publicly named Huang Le while acknowledging the extramarital relationship.
