LOS ANGELES, Nov 12 – US tech giant Nvidia is reportedly looking at whether its CEO will remain with the company.
The company’s board is meeting as its stocks plummeted following US media reports about a second alleged affair involving CEO Jensen Huang.
While the company just yesterday hired a major law firm to conduct an investigation into Huang’s affair with a woman who is allegedly a spy for China, the New York Times reported that Huang also had an affair with an Nvidia employee.
That pushed the board to consider Huang’s ongoing position as CEO of the company, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times.
Nvidia’s Board had previously appeared supportive of Huang, saying it had no reason to believe the company’s secrets or national security were compromised related to Huang’s first affair.
