Nvidia board considers removing CEO Jensen Huang over alleged affairs and spy links
Summarised by AI from 2 articles
Nvidia's board of directors is preparing to consider removing Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang over two extramarital affairs, including one with a woman suspected of working for Chinese intelligence.
Huang allegedly had a relationship with Alice Huang, whom US intelligence linked to shipping Nvidia chips to China despite export bans. He also had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s Vice President of Healthcare.
On 8 November, the board launched an independent investigation with external legal counsel into whether foreign intelligence targeted Huang. Nvidia previously stated that no evidence showed damage to company secrets or US national security.
Nvidia shares fell sharply, wiping out around 600 billion dollars in market value. Huang faces a potential US Congressional subpoena, though US President Donald Trump defended him as a decent person who performed an amazing job.
