CEO Jensen Huang's job is suddenly on the line at Nvidia
The FBI is investigating as Nvidia’s board holds urgent talks over Huang’s future.
Nvidia’s board is set to hold urgent talks about the future of its founder Jensen Huang after revelations that he had an affair with a top executive at the company, according to people familiar with the matter.
The meeting on Wednesday comes amid a deepening scandal at the $4.2 trillion group, after Donald Trump said the FBI was investigating allegations that Huang was romantically involved with an alleged Chinese spy.
The Nvidia chief executive had a romantic relationship with Kimberly Powell, the chipmaker’s vice-president of healthcare, according to two people familiar with the matter. Powell, a more than 18-year veteran at Nvidia, is among the company’s more prominent public figures.
