Nvidia board reportedly prepares to oust CEO Jensen Huang after affairs with a suspected Chinese spy and a subordinate executive
Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to remove co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang after he acknowledged an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive US intelligence suspects of working for China. The New York Times then reported a second affair with Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia vice president who reports to him. Nvidia shares fell sharply, a shareholder lawsuit was filed, and lawmakers demanded briefings.
