Report says former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had another employee relationship
Two sources told Reuters that Jensen Huang, who stepped down as Nvidia chief executive in November, was involved with a second employee, adding to earlier reported affairs.
SAN FRANCISCO — Reuters reported that Jensen Huang, who resigned as Nvidia's chief executive on Nov. 12, had an intimate relationship with a second employee, according to two people familiar with the matter. The report follows earlier disclosures of two extramarital affairs that contributed to Huang's departure. One of the previously identified women was Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence has suspected of acting as a Chinese spy, and the other was Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice-president of healthcare. Reuters did not name the second employee, and attempts to reach her were unsuccessful. Nvidia declined to comment, and neither Powell, Huang nor a board representative responded to requests for comment. Alice Huang could not be reached for comment.
"Jensen Huang admitted to an affair in a Nov. 8 statement following the reports of his relationship with Alice Huang, without referring to her by name," the article noted.
The board appointed finance chief Colette Kress as interim chief executive while it searches for a permanent replacement, considering both internal and external candidates. Earlier in November, the board launched an investigation, led by independent directors and outside counsel, into whether Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Shares of Nvidia fell 5.5% on Nov. 12 and have lost more than 30% of their value since an early-October peak.
