Nvidia board weighs removing founder Jensen Huang after affair reports

aljazeera.com —

Nvidia's board is considering removing CEO Jensen Huang after reports of extramarital affairs, including with an alleged Chinese spy, triggered a $600bn market value loss this week. The board met Wednesday to decide Huang's fate; he can be removed by majority vote as he holds no majority control. An independent investigation into foreign intelligence targeting has been launched, with potential successors including CFO Colette Kress and engineer Ian Buck. Huang cofounded Nvidia in 1993 and leads 80-90% of the AI chip market. He faces a possible subpoena for a November 18 briefing, and his APEC summit participation is uncertain.
