Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang is in the hot seat… but he may not be in the CEO seat for much longer. The company's board is reportedly meeting to determine if it will oust Huang as chief executive, the Wall Street Journal reports.
According to the New York Times on Wednesday, Huang, whose relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy has embroiled the company in scandal this week, also had a relationship with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell, one of Huang's 60 or so direct reports.
Nvidia stock fell in after-hours trading following the report.
