Investors Altimeter Capital Management and Atreides Management have urged Nvidia’s board to adopt a cautious approach to its leadership transition and keep open the possibility of founder Jensen Huang returning as chief executive.
Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled several senior company executives, including general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld, about the nature of his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, with whom he had an affair, news agency Reuters reported, citing two people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence.
Reuters reviewed several exchanges from October but agreed not to quote directly from the messages. The news agency is the first to report on the correspondence.
