Nvidia board weighs CEO Jensen Huang's future after spy affair reports
Nvidia's 10-member board is deliberating CEO Jensen Huang's future following reports of alleged extramarital affairs, including one with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy, with discussions on potential successors and an interim chief executive underway. The board's scrutiny marks a shift from Sunday's confidence in Huang, who has led the chipmaker since 1993. Reports of his relationship with data center executive Alice Huang and another affair prompted an internal investigation, causing Nvidia's stock to slide around 7% in early Frankfurt trading Thursday. The board members deciding Huang's fate include legal expert Stephen C. Neal, academics like John O Dabiri, early investors Tench Coxe and Harvey C Jones, and executives from diverse fields such as Dawn Hudson, Melissa B Lora, Brooke Seawell, Aarti Shah, Mark A Stevens, and Suzanne Nora Johnson.
