Nvidia board weighs Jensen Huang's future after affair scandal
Nvidia's board is expected to decide Thursday on CEO Jensen Huang's future following revelations of two extramarital affairs, including with a woman suspected of espionage for China, after the company's stock dropped and the FBI launched an investigation. Huang admitted infidelity in a letter to staff on Sunday. One relationship was with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive and Nvidia client suspected by US intelligence of working for Chinese services; the other was with Nvidia senior executive Kimberly Powell. The board seeks to restore calm amid espionage concerns. Huang, a co-founder, is seen as a key figure in the US AI race, with his chips central to the industry's growth. President Donald Trump has publicly supported him, calling him an "honest man," though related policy decisions are now under investigation.
