Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang, its founder and chief executive after he had two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy.

“The board is preparing to meet as soon as today to determine his future, people familiar with the matter said.

Huang, a co-founder of Nvidia, is seen by many as the face of the AI arms race. Known for his leather jackets and near-constant appearances at conferences and events all around the globe, he spoke with the confidence of a salesman who had just what the world wanted—and he did. Nvidia provides the key component to what many believe is the next industrial revolution.

Then, on Sunday, Huang acknowledged in a letter to staff that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized for violating their trust. That affair involved Alice Huang, an executive at the Singapore-based data company Megaspeed, which has been a major Nvidia customer and who U.S. intelligence officials believe is working for China’s intelligence services.

The Nvidia CEO also had an affair with an employee, according to a person familiar with the matter. The New York Times earlier reported the second affair. ”
