Nvidia CEO at the center of a new scandal: In addition to an affair with a spy, he had an affair with a subordinate
63-year-old co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, had an affair with 48-year-old company vice president Kimberly Powell, who directly reports to him. This was reported by five people who worked at the company to The New York Times. Both are married.
Powell leads Nvidia's healthcare division. She joined the company in 2008, and at the end of 2017, she became a vice president. Her team focuses on applying Nvidia technologies in medicine.
According to newspaper sources, Huang and Powell's relationship was discussed within the company. In March, during Nvidia's annual conference in San Jose, California, they were seen at a hotel showing affection towards each other.
One of the witnesses filmed this on their phone. As three sources familiar with the incident recounted, Huang's security noticed the person, took them aside, and offered them a non-disclosure agreement to sign.
Nvidia's code of conduct requires avoiding situations where personal relationships create a conflict of interest.
When journalists called Huang and asked about his relationship with Powell, he replied, «I don't think you should talk to me directly» — and hung up. Nvidia declined to comment, and Powell did not respond to the request.
The new publication appeared amidst the investigation of another affair involving Huang — with Alice Huang, the head of the Singaporean company Megaspeed, a major Nvidia client. American intelligence considers her linked to Chinese special services.
On November 8, Huang confessed to his wife's infidelity in a letter to employees. Nvidia's board of directors initiated an investigation. The heads of three influential committees of the U.S. House of Representatives also invited him to a closed meeting to inquire about his contacts with Alice Huang.
This week, Donald Trump defended the head of Nvidia and called him «a decent man».
