Nvidia board prepares to discuss future of CEO Jensen Huang
The chipmaker's board is considering the removal of Jensen Huang following reports of extramarital relationships.
Nvidia's board of directors is preparing to discuss the future of Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, according to reports from the Times of India and The Hindu. The board was reportedly preparing to meet as early as Wednesday, November 11, 2026, to determine the co-founder's position at the company.
The developments follow revelations regarding two alleged extramarital relationships involving the 63-year-old executive. One relationship involved Alice Huang, a businesswoman associated with the Singapore-based company Megaspeed, whom US intelligence officials allegedly identified as an asset of China's Ministry of State Security.
Jensen Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a letter to employees on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The New York Times also reported that Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, noting that the two were reportedly captured on video behaving affectionately at a hotel in San Jose, California, in March.
Nvidia's board has reportedly launched an independent investigation into the matter, led by the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The board is also reportedly working with an external firm to identify potential successors and is considering appointing an interim chief.
President Donald Trump, who has met Huang several times, said on Monday he was "amazed" by the revelations. The Trump administration is reportedly aware of the plans to remove Huang from his position.
