Jensen Huang Was Banging an Nvidia Vice President Too
Ryan Mac, Tripp Mickle, and Georgia Gee, reporting for The New York Times: Jensen Huang, the leader of Nvidia who is under investigation for an affair with a woman who U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, also had an extramarital relationship with an executive who reports to him, according to five people who worked at the company. The relationship, which has not been previously…
Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, is allegedly involved in an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, according to five sources familiar with the situation. This relationship, which has yet to be publicly reported, was witnessed by a bystander at a San Jose hotel during Nvidia's GTC conference in March, where both Huang and Powell were attending.
The bystander captured the intimate interaction on their phone and reportedly informed Huang's security team, who took action by sequestering the individual and having them sign a non-disclosure agreement. Although the New York Times has not viewed the video footage, it is clear that Huang and Powell, both married to other people, were visibly affectionate during their encounter.
Huang, when questioned about the affair, stated that he did not believe anyone should speak directly to him about the matter and subsequently ended the call. Given the company's strict code of conduct, which forbids personal relationships among employees, and the fact that Huang and Powell are not the only married individuals involved, it seems plausible that there are more undisclosed affairs within the company.
Speculation is high that intelligence agencies are well aware of these relationships, and with Huang's apparent nonchalance towards publicizing these affairs, there is a significant likelihood that additional revelations are imminent, possibly forcing Huang's resignation or his dismissal from Nvidia.
