Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang amid reports that he had two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy, the Wall Street Journal reported. The board is getting ready to meet on Huang’s future at the company as soon as today, the report noted, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. The news comes after the latest reporting from The New York Times said Huang had another extramarital relationship, one that involved a senior executive at Nvidia who reported to him. The company’s shares fell over 7% in after-hours trading following the reports.
