Jensen Huang Faces Second Affair Allegation Involving Nvidia Executive as Board Reportedly Moves to Oust CEO

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is already under investigation after admitting to an affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy. Now, The New York Times reports that Huang is also suspected of having a second affair—this time with a direct report at the company.

Second Allegation Involving VP of Health Care

The newspaper reported Wednesday that Huang is accused of an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of health care. Powell, like Huang, is married, according to the outlet.

The Times says it learned of the alleged affair from five company employees. The sources said Huang and Powell were captured on video "being affectionate at a San Jose, Calif., hotel" during a conference earlier this year.

As is common at many companies, Nvidia has rules discouraging relationships between supervisors and employees in subordinate roles, the Times notes. TechCrunch reached out to Nvidia for comment.

Board Investigation and Congressional Pressure Mount

The company's board has opened an investigation into Huang's publicly admitted affair. Separately, two House Republicans said Wednesday that Congress is preparing to subpoena Huang over the spy allegations if he does not voluntarily respond to their summons for a closed-door briefing.

Late Wednesday, after reports of the second affair were published, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Nvidia board was preparing to oust its founder.
