Nvidia preparing to replace CEO Jensen Huang as second alleged affair emerges: report
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces a reported push to remove him from the company as allegations of a second extramarital affair emerge, adding to an ongoing board investigation.
Nvidia is preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang as the artificial intelligence giant faces questions about his leadership following reports of extramarital relationships, according to The Wall Street Journal. The report comes as The New York Times reported Wednesday that Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, who reports directly to him. The latest allegations follow Huang's admission Sunday that he had been unfaithful to his wife in a separate relationship involving a woman described as an alleged Chinese spy.
