Nvidia’s board reportedly preparing to oust Jensen Huang after reports of a second affair

Nvidia's board of directors is reportedly considering removing founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, following reports of a second extramarital affair involving an executive at the company. The latest accusations emerged just days after Huang admitted to an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, Alice Huang, who was formerly the CEO of Megaspeed.

The New York Times has cited five company insiders who claim Huang had an affair with Nvidia Healthcare Vice President, Kimberly Powell. Despite Powell's lack of background in health or science, she has been running the Healthcare business since 2017. Nvidia's Healthcare unit accounts for a smaller portion of the company's revenue compared to its main data center unit.

If Huang were to be dismissed, Nvidia, which is the second most valuable company in the world and holds around 90% of the global market for AI chips, would face an uncertain future. The company's stock fell more than 9% in late trading, and it is likely to continue its downward trend for an additional week.
