Nvidia board reportedly discusses possible Jensen Huang removal
According to available reports, Nvidia’s board met to discuss the possible removal of CEO Jensen Huang amid new allegations about his personal relationships, while the company’s shares continue to fall.
According to available reports, Jensen Huang, in addition to a case involving alleged espionage connected to Alice Huang, had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president for healthcare.
The board had previously publicly backed Huang, but recently met to discuss his possible removal. The reason remains unclear: the second scandal may have crossed a risk threshold, or new details may have emerged during the investigation. The matter is being handled by a former federal prosecutor.
