Following allegations that Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had multiple extramarital affairs, and reports that one of the women was suspected of spying for China, the company’s board is working with an external firm to identify potential successors.

Bloomberg, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported that the board is weighing whether to appoint an interim chief executive while searching for a permanent replacement. The person requested anonymity because the information is not yet public.

Another source said Nvidia’s board met on Wednesday (11 November) to discuss whether Huang should remain in his role.
