Nvidia preps to boot Jensen Huang in wake of alleged affairs, Chinese ‘spy’ scandal

Jensen Huang’s future as Nvidia’s chief executive is in jeopardy as the chipmaking giant’s board weighs removing its billionaire founder amid revelations of two extramarital affairs, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Directors could meet as soon as Wednesday to discuss whether Huang, 63, should remain in charge, according to the Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter.

The potential shake-up marks a sharp reversal for Nvidia’s board, which publicly backed Huang just days earlier while launching an independent investigation into his relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of working for Beijing’s intelligence services.
