Nvidia’s board is preparing to dismiss CEO Jensen Huang following a report from the New York Times about a second alleged extramarital affair, just days after he admitted to a separate affair with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy, The Wall Street Journal reports. The second alleged affair was with an executive who reports to him, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, Kimberly Powell, according to the Times, saying the two may have been captured on video “being affectionate” during Nvidia’s GTC developer conference in March.
The Nvidia board will meet as soon as today to decide on Huang’s future at the company, according to the Journal. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Verge.
Since Nvidia and Huang confirmed the relationship and a subsequent investigation over the weekend, the company has said it retained former US attorney Joon H. Kim and his firm, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, to handle it, but today’s rumor suggests it won’t wait for those results to act.
