Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang after he had two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The board is preparing to meet as soon as Wednesday (US time) to determine his future, the report added.
Separately, The New York Times reported Huang had engaged in a second affair with one of his subordinates, 48-year-old Kimberly Powell. She is Nvidia’s vice president of health care.
Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The reports come days after Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife of more than 40 years Lori Huang, as Nvidia’s board investigates whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.
The woman who US intelligence agencies concluded had targeted Huang is called Alice Huang (no relation). Nvidia’s shares were down about 8 per cent in after-hours trading.
