Nvidia board meets on Jensen Huang's future after affair reports

Nvidia board meets on Jensen Huang's future after affair reports

The Wall Street Journal says the board was preparing to remove the co-founder, days after he admitted a relationship with an executive US intelligence reportedly linked to China. No decision has been announced.

Nvidia's board met late on Wednesday, US time, to decide whether to remove CEO Jensen Huang, according to the Wall Street Journal, CNBC and Reuters. No outcome has been announced.

Huang told staff on Sunday he had been "unfaithful" to his wife, after reports of a relationship with a Singapore-based executive whom a US intelligence memo reportedly called a Chinese asset.

Nvidia's shares fell about 8 to 9 per cent in after-hours trading as the reports spread.
