Nvidia Directors Weigh Huang Removal Amid Misconduct Allegations Arabian Post


Date:

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> Nvidia's board is considering removing chief executive Jensen Huang following allegations of a second extramarital relationship and questions surrounding his contact with a woman suspected by US intelligence officials of links to Chinese espionage.

Directors were expected to meet late Wednesday to consider the future of the 63-year-old co-founder, although no dismissal had been publicly confirmed. The possible leadership change comes days after the board expressed confidence in Huang while announcing an independent investigation into concerns about a foreign intelligence operation.

The immediate pressure intensified after allegations emerged that Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice-president of healthcare, who reports to him. Five people who worked at the company described the alleged relationship, while accounts of affectionate behaviour at a San Jose hotel during a company conference in March circulated. Those allegations have not been independently established, and neither executive has publicly confirmed the relationship.
