Nvidia board reportedly eyes ousting CEO Jensen Huang amid affair scandal

Nvidia's Board of Directors is reportedly considering the removal of CEO Jensen Huang due to revelations of two extramarital affairs. One alleged affair is with a subordinate, and another is with an individual suspected by U.S. intelligence of working for China. The company's stock saw an 8% drop in after-hours trading following these reports, and the board has initiated an independent investigation. This potential leadership change marks a significant moment for Nvidia, as Huang has been the sole CEO for 33 years. AI

IMPACT Potential leadership instability at a key AI hardware supplier could impact supply chains and strategic direction.
