Jensen Huang reportedly had a romantic relationship with a senior employee who reported directly to him
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having a romantic relationship with a senior employee who reported directly to him, The New York Times reported overnight, citing five former employees.
The report comes amid a separate investigation involving Huang over his ties to a woman identified by the US intelligence community as a Chinese spy.
According to the report, the relationship was with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare.
According to the sources, Huang and Powell were captured on video “showing affection” at a hotel in San Jose, California, during an Nvidia conference in March.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources, that the company’s board is preparing to oust Huang.
In recent days, Nvidia’s stock has plunged following revelations that its CEO and founder, Jensen Huang, had an affair with a Chinese spy.
Earlier this week, the company’s board of directors announced an independent investigation into its CEO and founder, following reports that he had been targeted in an intelligence operation that was later revealed to involve an affair he had with a Chinese spy. Huang said he intended to cooperate with the investigation.
