Jensen Huang had another affair with Nvidia VP who reported to him: Report

The latest revelations come as Huang faces mounting scrutiny over his reported relationship with Alice Huang

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who is already facing scrutiny over his alleged extramarital relationship with a Chinese businesswoman identified by US intelligence officials as a suspected Chinese spy, was also involved in another affair with a senior company executive, according to a report by The New York Times.The previously unreported relationship was with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, who reports directly to Huang, according to five people familiar with the matter who spoke to the newspaper on condition of anonymity.The relationship has reportedly been discussed internally at Nvidia. Two former company employees told The New York Times that Huang and Powell were seen behaving affectionately at a hotel in San Jose, California, during an Nvidia conference in March.

The newspaper, however, said it had not independently seen the video.The reported relationship has also raised questions about Nvidia’s workplace policies. The company's code of conduct instructs employees to avoid situations that could create conflicts of interest, including personal relationships. It also states that Nvidia "promptly investigates reports of misconduct". Several corporations have policies restricting relationships between managers and employees who report to them.

Powell joined Nvidia in 2008 and currently oversees initiatives involving the application of the company's chip technology in healthcare and higher education, particularly in medical imaging devices.The latest revelations come as Huang faces mounting scrutiny over his reported relationship with Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, a Chinese businesswoman whom US intelligence officials reportedly identified as an intelligence asset working for Beijing.Last month, The New York Times reported that Alice Huang had developed a close relationship with the Nvidia chief and was allegedly attempting to influence the company to make its advanced artificial intelligence chips more accessible to China. Beijing has rejected the espionage allegations, describing them as unsubstantiated.Huang subsequently acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a letter to Nvidia's board, without identifying the woman involved. The company's board has since launched an investigation into the matter, led by law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. Republican leaders of three influential House committees have also sought a closed-door briefing from Huang about his interactions with Alice Huang.
