Nvidia Board Probes Huang After Affair Reports and Security Concerns
- On Wednesday, Nvidia's board reportedly began preparations to remove CEO Jensen Huang following disclosures of two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset.
- U.S. intelligence agencies identified the woman in the first affair as an alleged Chinese intelligence asset, prompting Huang's November 8 admission that he was "unfaithful" and triggering an independent national security probe.
- Reports surfaced Wednesday that Huang also had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia vice president of healthcare, raising conflict-of-interest concerns and exposing the $4 trillion company's lack of succession planning.
- Nvidia shares plummeted over 8% in after-hours trading, erasing roughly $600 billion in market value this week, though some retail investors increased purchases betting on long-term dominance despite the crisis.
- House committee leaders requested a closed-door briefing on the allegations and warned of potential subpoenas if Huang fails to comply, as lawmakers scrutinize the chipmaker's supply chain exposure to restricted Chinese markets.
