Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces board vote on removal after second reported workplace affair
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces potential removal by the board following reports of a second romantic relationship with an employee, amid prior allegations involving a Chinese woman suspected of espionage. The company's stock fell over 8% in after-hours trading Wednesday. The Wall Street Journal reported the board prepared to vote on Huang's dismissal Wednesday evening. The New York Times revealed Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, a 48-year-old vice president in Nvidia's healthcare division, both married, allegedly caught in a hotel in March. CNBC cited an anonymous employee saying rumors of the affair circulated for years, partly due to Powell's limited healthcare experience. Huang reportedly hung up on a New York Times reporter when contacted.
