If Jensen Huang goes, who could replace him? Here’s who the board might pick if the Nvidia CEO is ousted in the wake of affair scandals

It was bad enough for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang that he admitted to having an affair with someone, who people believe to be someone suspected of being a Chinese spy. But it's now come to light he has reportedly had a second affair with a member of Nvidia staff—Kimberly Powell, VP of healthcare. After this latest story it's looking more likely that Huang could be forced to resign.

The question is what's next for Nvidia if the board today decides his tenure as the longest-serving Silicon Valley CEO should come to an end. Huang has been the image of the company in the eyes of the public for a long time, so whoever steps in to replace him will have a big leather jacket to fill. And whoever it is, it will be a major change for the company regardless.

The doors are wide open for Nvidia in the long-term, so it's difficult to pin down with any certainty who any eventual replacement CEO would be, but in the interim the options are more limited. Here's who we could consider seeing as the new CEO of Nvidia.

The first thing to note is that if Huang does get the boot, Nvidia will need to appoint someone to the position quickly as an interim CEO. As one of the biggest companies in the world and a major player in the AI industry which is keeping large parts of the US economy afloat, trying to quickly mitigate economic concerns will be key.
