Nvidia board opens independent probe tied to Jensen Huang; he stays as CEO
What happened
Nvidia's board has started an independent investigation, according to a Nov 9 report that links the probe to Jensen Huang acknowledging an extramarital affair and US spying allegations against a related figure. China's embassy in Washington denies the allegations, and no one has been charged. The board says it found no sign that national security or company secrets were harmed, and Huang remains CEO. Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld estimated in an interview that Huang has about a 50-50 chance of keeping his career after the probe; that is the professor's estimate, not a board decision on his tenure.
