Nvidia president and CEO Jensen Huang may be out at the tech giant after it was revealed he allegedly had an affair with someone who reported to him at the company.
The Wall Street Journal reported that, according to people familiar with the matter, the board is planning to meet as soon as Wednesday, November 11, to discuss his future.
Earlier Wednesday, it was revealed by The New York Times that Jensen — who reportedly admitted in a message to employees that he cheated on his wife — had an affair with a company executive.
Jensen was previously accused of having an extramarital relationship with a suspected Chinese source named Alice Huang (though no relation to him).
Following the announcement that Nvidia launched an investigation, the company has since lost approximately $600 billion in stock market value, according to Reuters.
Jensen's potential removal could further jeopardize the company.
"Huang being removed immediately could be challenging for Nvidia since it does not have a succession plan in place," Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, said, per Reuters. "If Mr. Huang broke the law or violated company policies, the board is likely to act as soon as they have proof."
Jensen cofounded Nvidia in 1993 with Curtis Priem and Chris Malachowsky.
As First For Money previously reported, he was linked to Alice, a former top executive at Megaspeed International whom U.S. officials suspect of being a Chinese intelligence asset.
Nvidia said it would investigate whether Jensen was the "target of a foreign intelligence effort" — accusations that China denied, per People.
"I support the investigation and will cooperate fully," Jensen said, according to the publication. "I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America's national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American."
