## Key points

- Nvidia’s board is set to discuss Jensen Huang’s future.
- Reports of a relationship with a senior executive add pressure.
- Shares fell more than 8 per cent after the reports.

## Summary

Nvidia’s board is due to hold urgent talks about founder and chief executive Jensen Huang’s future after reports that he had a relationship with a senior executive. The discussions add pressure on the head of the $4.2 trillion chipmaker as the FBI investigates allegations involving Huang and a woman described as an alleged Chinese spy.

Huang’s reported relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice-president of healthcare, is the latest development; he had previously acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at an Nvidia customer. US intelligence believes Alice Huang was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security, and Nvidia has appointed a former federal prosecutor to lead its own investigation. The company’s shares fell more than 8 per cent in after-hours trading, though its board had backed Huang to remain chief executive on Sunday.
