Nvidia Board Moves to Oust CEO Jensen Huang After Affairs With Suspected Spy and Subordinate

smh.com.au [$] —

Nvidia's board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang following revelations of two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy, according to The Wall Street Journal. The board met Thursday to decide his future at the $4.1 trillion chipmaker. The New York Times reported Huang, 63, had a second affair with Kimberly Powell, 48, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. The board has worked with an outside firm to identify replacements and may name a temporary chief. Nvidia shares fell about 7% in after-hours trading. Huang founded Nvidia in 1993 and apologized Sunday for his actions. The suspected spy, Alice Huang, ran Singapore-based Megaspeed, which allegedly smuggled AI chips to China. President Donald Trump backed Huang, saying he was unaware of his lover's identity.
