Reports indicate Nvidia’s board is preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang after allegations he had an affair with a woman accused of spying for China.
Nvidia's board is reportedly evaluating steps to dismiss its long‑time chief executive Jensen Huang. The move follows media reports linking Huang to an alleged extramarital relationship with a woman under investigation for alleged espionage on behalf of China.
Sources close to the board said the scandal has raised concerns among shareholders about potential conflicts of interest and reputational damage. The board is said to be reviewing corporate‑governance protocols before any formal action is taken.
Huang, who founded Nvidia in 1993 and has led its rise as a leading graphics‑processing‑unit maker, has not publicly responded to the allegations. The company has not issued an official statement, and legal counsel for the board declined to comment.
Analysts note that any leadership change at Nvidia could affect its market performance, given the company's pivotal role in AI and data‑center hardware. However, the timeline for any decision remains unclear.
