Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had affair with executive who reports to him
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, a vice president who reports to him, according to five former company employees, adding to existing scrutiny over his alleged affair with a woman U.S. intelligence identified as a Chinese spy. The relationship with Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, was captured on video at a San Jose hotel during a March conference, though the footage has not been verified. Nvidia’s code of conduct prohibits personal relationships that create conflicts, and the company says it investigates misconduct reports. Huang, 63, and Powell, 48, are both married to others. The revelation follows a board investigation into Huang’s affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese executive accused of espionage, and a request from House Republicans for a closed-door briefing. Nvidia declined to comment, and Huang hung up when reached by phone.
