Nvidia’s board is set to hold urgent talks on Wednesday about the future of founder Jensen Huang after revelations that he had an affair with a top executive, according to people familiar with the matter.

The meeting comes as the $4.2 trillion group faces a deepening scandal, with former US president Donald Trump saying the FBI was investigating allegations that Huang was romantically involved with an alleged Chinese spy.
Two people familiar with the matter said the chief executive’s romantic relationship was with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice‑president of healthcare, who has worked at the chipmaker for more than 18 years and is among its more prominent public figures.
The controversy has attracted political attention, and Trump’s claim that the FBI is probing the alleged romantic link with an alleged Chinese spy has intensified pressure on the board as it prepares to decide Huang’s fate.
