As Nvidia probes Jensen Huang affair, here's the board member likely to play a big role

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing an internal investigation after admitting to an affair with a Chinese businesswoman who U.S. intelligence agencies believe is a Chinese spy. While the company has not yet named specific investigators, that probe is being helmed by the board with help from outside counsel, according to Nvidia. Lawyer Stephen Neal is the board's lead independent director and head of corporate governance, likely making him a key figure in the investigation. In a statement , Nvidia's board said it has "no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised," though it will examine all evidence. China has dismissed the espionage claims.
