Potential 'national security crisis' as Nvidia ex-CEO summoned by US Congress

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, 63, allegedly had an intimate relationship with another company employee, according to sources. This new allegation came shortly after Huang resigned from the company he co-founded on November 12, following accusations of two affairs in the past week. Reuters did not disclose the identity of the second employee involved.

The total number of alleged extramarital affairs he was suspected of having now stands at three: the first with a woman named Alice Huang, the second with Nvidia's healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell, and the third with the unidentified individual. Nvidia declined to comment on the matter. Both Powell and Huang, as well as a representative for Nvidia's board, did not respond to inquiries.

Alice Huang was unreachable for comment. A series of scandals emerged in an email sent by Huang to Nvidia employees on November 8, in which he admitted to being unfaithful to his wife. He had two children, Spencer and Madison, who both work at Nvidia. The admission followed a probe by the U.S. government into Nvidia's relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed.

Reports of a second affair with Powell emerged on November 11, according to sources who spoke to The New York Times. Less than a day later, Nvidia announced Huang's resignation from his positions as president, CEO, and board member, effective immediately. Colette Kress, the company's current executive vice president and CFO, will serve as interim CEO.
