NVIDIA (NVDA) reportedly set to oust CEO Jensen Huang after second affair revealed

NVIDIA's board has apparently seen enough after a second affair involving CEO Jensen Huang has come to light.

The NVIDIA (NVDA) board is reportedly set to take action against company CEO Jensen Huang. The board appears poised to remove Huang from his position shortly after a second extramarital affair was revealed on Wednesday afternoon. This follows days of fallout from Huang's first affair, which was with an alleged Chinese spy.

The report of Huang's pending ouster comes from the Wall Street Journal, which notes that NVIDIA's board is preparing to meet as soon as today to discuss the embattled CEO's future. The WSJ report comes less than an hour after the New York Times came in with its own report that Huang had a second affair with NVIDIA Vice President of Health Care Kimberly Powell. Any relationship with Powell would violate NVIDIA's code of conduct, which stresses that employees should avoid personal relationships in which "actions create conflict." According to the New York Times, Huang and Powell were caught on video being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during an NVIDIA conference in March, likely the GTC San Jose event.

All of this comes days after news broke that Huang has been in a relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. The NVIDIA board announced on Sunday that it would open an investigation into this affair, which potentially stood to compromise national security, as well as NVIDIA's own company security.

The news for NVIDIA's stock is not good. While the company finished the November 11, 2026 trading day up $4.93/share, it has since tumbled in after-hours trading following news of Huang's second affair and the NVIDIA board's potential action.
