Nov 13 — Former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang faces a further allegation of a workplace relationship following his resignation from the chipmaker on November 12.

Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that Huang had an intimate relationship with another Nvidia employee, separate from two previously reported affairs.

The news agency withheld the employee’s identity and said its attempts to contact her were unsuccessful.

Nvidia confirmed in a November 12 statement that Huang had resigned as president, chief executive and board member with immediate effect.

Finance chief Colette Kress was appointed interim chief executive while the board searches for a permanent replacement among internal and external candidates.

In a November 8 message published on Nvidia’s website, Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife but did not identify anyone involved.

He also pledged to cooperate with an independent board investigation into national security concerns raised in news reports.

The previously reported relationships involved Nvidia healthcare vice-president Kimberly Powell and Alice Huang, whom US intelligence suspects of being a Chinese spy.

Reuters said Nvidia declined to comment on its latest report, while Jensen Huang, Powell and a board representative did not respond to requests for comment.
