Nvidia board reportedly preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang after alleged affairs
Huang admitted in a statement to the company he was "unfaithful" to his wife.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the board was preparing to meet as soon as Wednesday to determine Huang's future with the technology giant he founded. ABC News has reached out to Nvidia for comment. On Sunday, Nvidia said that its board launched an independent investigation "in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
The development on Wednesday comes after The New York Times reported nearly two weeks ago that Huang had "a close relationship" with an alleged Chinese government agent, identified as Alice Huang, a top executive at Singapore-based data company Megaspeed. He later admitted in an internal statement to Nvidia staff that he had been "unfaithful to his wife." Amid the fallout from the allegations and the letter, The Times reported on Wednesday that Huang also allegedly had an extramarital relationship with an Nvidia executive who allegedly reports to him.
