The Wall Street Journal has reported that Nvidia's board is preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang from his position following revelations of two extramarital affairs. One affair involved a woman who is suspected to be a Chinese spy, according to sources familiar with the matter. The board is set to convene as early as Wednesday to discuss Huang's future.
Earlier on the same day, the New York Times revealed that Huang had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. The New York Times cited five individuals within the company for this information. Nvidia has not yet commented on these allegations. Reuters has been unable to independently confirm the reports.
The stories emerged just days after Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, as the company's board investigates whether he was the victim of a foreign intelligence operation. This latest disclosure intensifies a controversy that has drawn attention from lawmakers, investors, and the board itself regarding Huang's actions and his relationship with Alice Huang, a woman whom U.S. intelligence has labeled as potentially linked to a foreign intelligence operation.
