Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's Affair With Executive Raises Governance Questions
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, a company vice president who reported to him, citing five former employees. Nvidia has not commented on the report. The alleged relationship is under scrutiny as Nvidia's board investigates whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, following his acknowledgment of infidelity to employees. Shares of the chipmaker fell nearly 4% in extended trading after the news. Powell serves as Nvidia's vice president of health care, and the report adds to governance concerns at the company amid its high-profile status in the AI sector. The investigation's findings remain undisclosed.
