Who is Jensen Huang? Nvidia chief under scrutiny over affair and spying reports
Nvidia's board is meeting to decide whether to oust CEO Jensen Huang, as the AI chip giant grapples with reports of two extramarital affairs involving its longtime leader. Huang's future is now in the balance at the company he co-founded and helped transform into a global AI powerhouse. We look back at his rise and his journey to becoming one of the most influential figures in the AI industry.
Jensen Huang, the 63-year-old CEO of Nvidia, is reportedly embroiled in another affair scandal, according to The New York Times (NYT). Five individuals who worked at Nvidia have reportedly corroborated the allegations, identifying Kimberly Powell, a 48-year-old vice president of healthcare at the company, as the alleged partner.
Powell has been with Nvidia since 2008, as per her employee profile. Both Huang and Powell are married to other individuals. Eyewitnesses claim the pair were seen being affectionate at a hotel during a Nvidia conference in March, according to two unnamed sources familiar with the matter. When asked about the allegations, Huang reportedly stated, "I don't think you should be talking to me directly."
The company's board is set to meet on Wednesday to discuss whether to dismiss Huang. Nvidia's stock price plummeted by nearly 10 percent following the news of the potential ousting. This latest affair allegation follows reports of Huang allegedly having an affair with a former executive from a Singapore-based firm, who was believed to be an intelligence asset for China.
