Nvidia board weighs CEO Jensen Huang's removal over affair allegations
Nvidia's board is reportedly considering removing CEO Jensen Huang following allegations of two extramarital affairs, one involving a woman suspected by US intelligence of links to Chinese espionage, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Wednesday. The board may meet to discuss Huang's future amid an ongoing internal investigation into whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Nvidia shares fell about 8% in after-hours trading following the news, reflecting investor concern over potential leadership upheaval. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has led its transformation into a dominant AI chip supplier, making his exit a significant challenge. The alleged relationships involve Alice Huang of Singapore-based Megaspeed International and Nvidia healthcare VP Kimberly Powell, though details remain unconfirmed.
