GoKawiilNvidia's Jensen Huang faces new affair allegation involving VP Kimberly Powell
The New York Times reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is suspected of a second extramarital affair, this time with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of healthcare and one of his direct reports. Five employees told the Times that the two were seen being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during a conference this year; both Huang and Powell are married. Nvidia's board is already investigating a separate, previously admitted affair involving Huang and a woman accused of being a Chinese spy.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A relationship between a CEO and a direct subordinate would conflict with workplace policies many companies enforce to prevent conflicts of interest, which could complicate the board's ongoing review of Huang's conduct. The Wall Street Journal has reported the board was preparing to oust Huang even before this second allegation surfaced, suggesting the leadership crisis at Nvidia may be deepening. Separately, lawmakers have signaled they may subpoena Huang over the spy-related allegations, adding political pressure to the corporate scrutiny he already faces.
