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.
