Nvidia working to identify CEO candidates to replace Jensen Huang

The crisis has highlighted Nvidia’s lack of a succession plan

Nvidia's board is actively searching for potential candidates to replace CEO Jensen Huang following revelations of his extramarital affairs, including one with a woman suspected of spying for China. The board is considering both a temporary CEO and a permanent replacement, with the Wall Street Journal reporting the board is preparing to oust Huang.

Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a data centre executive at a large Nvidia customer, and another with Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, Kimberly Powell, have raised concerns about his leadership and the potential impact on the company. The board is weighing the option of naming a temporary CEO while they search for a permanent successor.

Huang's departure would leave a leadership vacuum at the tech giant, which he co-founded and built into a dominant supplier of AI chips.
