Nvidia's board is preparing to fire CEO Jensen Huang following reports of a second affair, this time with VP of health care Kimberly Powell, according to The Wall Street Journal. The board may meet as soon as today to decide his fate. The New York Times reported Huang and Powell were seen being affectionate at a hotel during a work conference. Huang declined to comment, but earlier admitted to being "unfaithful to my wife" in a memo, expressing remorse and pledging full cooperation with an independent board investigation. The scandal follows a separate report that a Chinese executive, Alice Huang, allegedly spied on Jensen Huang for Chinese intelligence. Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, makes chips powering AI tools from OpenAI and Google, making its CEO a top espionage target.
