Corporate espionage is a real thing. Smart CEOs suspect all extra marital partners and the very cautious ones pay for it. It’s disgusting and amoral but the wealthy live completely different lives than we do. I guarantee he was advised against seeing/dating/fucking that woman by multiple advisors and other cohorts of his. He’s just a very special intelligent boy.
Ooooorrrrr she was his connection to China and this is a ruse to protect his position at Nvidia.

Maybe it’s meant relative to other CEOs rather than the general population.

You internal picture of a CEO is formed by the fuckups you’ve heard of, or maybe that one dipshit you worked for. No one reports on successful, smart CEOs because that’s the norm.
If you think all CEOs are stupid, then all of their boards of directors are as well. Somehow these people know they have a dipshit in charge and are fine with it?
Middle management can be the very picture of the Peter Principle, but boards of directors don’t usually suffer incompetance.
