Nvidia board weighs Jensen Huang's future amid espionage and affair scandal

rainews.it (Italian) —

Nvidia's board met on November 11 to discuss the future of CEO Jensen Huang amid a scandal involving alleged extramarital affairs, suspected Chinese espionage, and potential export violations, with the Wall Street Journal reporting preparations for his possible removal. The controversy centers on Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US intelligence of working for China's Ministry of State Security, with whom Jensen Huang admitted having an affair. The Wall Street Journal revealed her husband introduced the pair, while the New York Times reported a second alleged relationship with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. The board has not announced decisions. Nvidia controls about 90% of the AI chip market, and the scandal has impacted markets, with shares losing nearly 10% over two sessions. Potential successors include son-in-law Nico Caprez, while China has dismissed the espionage accusations as unfounded.
