Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces new affair allegation involving company exec

TechCrunch reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, already under investigation for an affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese intelligence agent, is now accused of having a second extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care.

The New York Times reported that five Nvidia employees alleged Huang and Powell were seen being affectionate at a hotel during a conference earlier this year. Both Huang and Powell are married, and Nvidia has policies discouraging relationships between superiors and subordinates.

Nvidia’s board has launched an investigation into Huang’s admitted affair, and following the new allegations, the Wall Street Journal reported the board is preparing to remove Huang from his position.

Additionally, two House Republicans indicated that Congress may subpoena Huang over the spy-related affair allegations if he does not voluntarily attend a closed-door briefing.

The situation remains ongoing as Nvidia and its board continue their investigations, and Congressional interest in the matter persists.
