Nvidia's board decides Jensen Huang's future
The board of technology company Nvidia is set to decide on November 12 whether CEO Jensen Huang will remain in his position. Reports of a possible dismissal followed the publication of information about his alleged further extramarital relationship with a senior company manager. Der Standard ↗
The New York Times reported that Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, who heads Nvidia's healthcare division. Such conduct would be in violation of the company's internal rules. Media also reported that the board is already considering Huang's departure and that Nvidia is reportedly looking for his possible successor. El Mundo ↗
The board's decision comes at a time when the company is facing a broader investigation into Huang's relationships. One of the previous cases involved a woman whom US authorities suspected of links to Chinese espionage. Nvidia hired the New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to examine the circumstances. BBC News ↗
Reports of a possible dismissal were also reflected in trading of the company's shares. Their price fell by approximately eight percent in over-the-counter trading, with Nvidia's market value reportedly dropping by tens of billions of dollars according to media reports. Huang's departure would also create a leadership vacuum at the company, whose value stands at around four trillion dollars. The Guardian ↗
Further developments will depend on the board's decision and the results of the investigation. Nvidia has not yet publicly confirmed that it will dismiss Huang.
