Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had relationship with healthcare executive, New York Times reports
The New York Times reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang engaged in an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of health care, according to five former employees.
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the chipmaker's vice president of health care, according to a report by The New York Times citing five people who worked at the company. The previously unreported relationship involved an executive who reports directly to Huang, both of whom are married to other people.[4][2][1]
Two former employees told the Times that Huang, 63, and Powell, 48, were recorded on video being affectionate at a San Jose, California, hotel during an Nvidia conference in March. The publication noted that it had not viewed the recording itself.[4]
The claims bring renewed scrutiny under Nvidia's code of conduct, which instructs staff to avoid conflict-of-interest situations including personal relationships and commits to promptly investigating misconduct reports. The report emerges while Nvidia's board examines a separate alleged affair involving Huang and a woman identified by U.S. intelligence as a suspected Chinese spy.[4][2]
Huang hung up when contacted by the Times regarding the matter, and Nvidia declined to comment on the report.[3][2]
