Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang May Exit: 3 Names Who Could Replace Him

Nvidia has spent more than three decades building its business around one man. Now, the company may have to answer a question it has largely avoided: who could replace Jensen Huang?The question has become urgent after reports that Nvidia's board is preparing to remove its co-founder and chief executive following revelations about two extramarital affairs, including one involving a woman suspected by US intelligence agencies of being a Chinese spy.The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the board was preparing to meet to decide Huang's future.

This came hours after The New York Times reported that Huang allegedly had another relationship with a senior Nvidia executive who reported directly to him.The latest allegations have dramatically escalated the controversy. Nvidia's board had initially expressed confidence in Huang even as it launched an independent investigation into whether he had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.Huang, meanwhile, acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family and employees.
