Who could potentially replace Jensen Huang if Nvidia ousts him?
With Jensen Huang under unexpected pressure and no clear succession plan at Nvidia, several candidates could emerge to lead the AI giant if its board decides to oust him.
Nvidia reportedly contemplates removing CEO Jensen Huang following claims of an affair with a colleague, according to Reuters. The controversy arises from Huang's alleged romantic involvement with Alice Huang, a Chinese national suspected of espionage, as investigated by U.S. authorities. On November 8, Huang acknowledged an affair in an email to employees, raising further questions.
Reports suggest additional allegations of a second affair involving Huang and Nvidia's vice-president of healthcare, Kimberly Powell. The Wall Street Journal cites Nvidia's board planning a meeting on November 11 to decide Huang's future, while Bloomberg mentions the company's engagement with an external firm to find a replacement.
In the interim, forming a temporary CEO is reportedly being considered. The scandal took a financial toll, with Nvidia's shares dropping around eight percent after hours, following a recent decline after the first affair was disclosed.
