Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to remove chief executive Jensen Huang after a second reported affair — this time with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, according to reports.
The Wall Street Journal reported on the evening of 11 November that directors are laying the groundwork to oust Huang, the co-founder who has led Nvidia for more than three decades and turned it into the world's most valuable chip company.
What Happened
- 11 November, evening: The Wall Street Journal reports the board is preparing to remove Huang.
- 11 November: The New York Times reports a second alleged affair, this time with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.
- Late 11 November: The board meets and announces no decision.
- After hours: Nvidia shares fall about 8%.
The Investigation So Far
The board is already running an independent investigation into an earlier reported relationship involving Huang. That investigation is still running, and no findings have been made public.
Why This Matters
Huang is not just Nvidia's chief executive — he is the face of the company and the architect of its AI dominance. He co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has led it ever since.
There is no public succession plan. If the board does remove him, the question of who runs the world's most valuable chip company becomes urgent — fast.
What Happens Next
- 17 November: Nvidia reports earnings — the most-watched earnings report in tech.
- 18 November: A House briefing is scheduled on the matter.
- The board has announced no decision yet.
This is a developing story. We will update this post as more details are confirmed.
