Nvidia Preps to Boot Jensen Huang after Second Alleged Affair Revealed in Wake of Chinese ‘Spy’ Scandal: Report
By New York Post.
Jensen Huang’s future as Nvidia’s chief executive was hanging by a thread Wednesday night, with the chipmaking giant’s board weighing whether to remove its billionaire founder following revelations of a second alleged extramarital affair, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Directors were poised to meet as soon as late Wednesday to discuss whether Huang, 63, should remain in charge, according to the Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter.
Nvidia’s stock was down 8% in after-hours trading Wednesday, after clawing back some of its recent losses earlier in the day.
Huang, 63, led Nvidia — which he famously cofounded in 1993 in a Denny’s in San Jose, Calif. — to become the world’s top chipmaker and one of the driving forces of the AI revolution.
