Nvidia's board is holding urgent talks about CEO Jensen Huang's future after revelations of his affair with Kimberly Powell, the company's healthcare vice-president. The scandal deepened as former President Trump said the FBI is investigating allegations linking Huang to a Chinese spy, while the board had previously backed him amid an earlier affair investigation.
Background
Jensen Huang has led Nvidia since its founding in 1993, guiding it to become the dominant AI chipmaker worth over $4 trillion. His public role as a technology leader and advisor to the Trump administration makes any leadership disruption at Nvidia highly consequential for the AI industry.
