The Nvidia board of directors is expected to meet to decide the future of CEO Jensen Huang following reports of extramarital affairs, including one involving a suspected foreign agent.

The board is expected to meet as soon as today to determine the executive’s future. CEO Jensen Huang has been under intense pressure following his confession to infidelity, and it appears he is poised to lose his grip on the company he co-founded in 1993. The New York Times reported a relationship with health-care VP Kimberly Powell, who reports to Huang, raising a separate workplace-governance question while a board investigation is underway.

The report about Huang’s possible departure came after the New York Times reported that he had a second extramarital affair. The report comes days after Huang admitted to an affair with a woman who is believed by U.S. intelligence of being a Chinese spy.

Semafor reported the story as "Nvidia board preparing to oust CEO Huang: WSJ." CBS News reported the story as "Nvidia's board preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang, sources say." Revolver News reported the story as "WSJ: Nvidia Preparing to Oust CEO Jensen Huang...."
