NEW YORK: Nvidia's board is preparing to oust its co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, as the chip giant's chief faces a growing list of controversies -- including multiple affairs.
The tech company's board was preparing to meet as soon as Wednesday to determine Huang's future, according to the Wall Street Journal, which quoted people familiar with the matter.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Huang was also involved in a second extramarital affair with a subordinate, saying there was video evidence of the 63-year-old executive being affectionate with Nvidia's vice president of health care, Kimberly Powell.
The report of the second affair follows Huang acknowledging a relationship with Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed.
US intelligence reportedly circulated a memo this past spring alleging Alice Huang was an asset of China's Ministry of State Security.
Huang admitted to having had a relationship with Alice Huang -- to whom he bears no familial relation -- in a note to Nvidia employees over the weekend, writing: "I was unfaithful to my wife."
The Wall Street Journal reported that the two were photographed together in Taipei in 2024 and 2025.
Nvidia shareholders filed a class action lawsuit against Huang and the AI chip maker for failing to disclose information about the relationship to investors.
Nvidia shares have plummeted in recent days since Huang admitted to the affair.
