Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with a subordinate draws scrutiny

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 scrutiny he faces over a separate affair with a woman US officials identified as a Chinese spy. The relationship with Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, was captured on video at a San Jose hotel during a March conference, two sources said, though The New York Times has not seen the footage. Huang, 63, and Powell, 48, are both married to others, and the company’s code of conduct discourages personal relationships that create conflicts. Huang’s board has opened an investigation into his affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese executive accused of espionage, which China denies, and Republican House leaders have requested a briefing. Powell joined Nvidia in 2008 and rose to her current role by 2017, while Huang’s security reportedly sequestered a bystander who filmed the hotel interaction.
