Jensen Huang hit with fresh controversy as alleged new affair with Nvidia VP emerges

Reports claim footage of Huang and Kimberly Powell was seen by employees at a company conference

Jensen Huang is facing fresh scrutiny after reports emerged alleging that the Nvidia chief executive had a relationship with another senior figure at the company, adding to the controversy surrounding his personal life.

According to The New York Times, Huang allegedly had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, who reportedly reports directly to him. The newspaper cited five current or former employees who said the relationship had become known within the company.

The report also claimed that Huang and Powell were captured on video behaving affectionately at a hotel in San Jose, California, during a company conference earlier this year. The alleged footage has not been independently verified by Reuters.

The claims have raised questions about Nvidia’s workplace policies, which reportedly discourage relationships between managers and employees who report to them. Nvidia had not publicly responded to the latest allegations at the time of the reports.

The development follows Huang’s admission that he had been unfaithful to his wife. His earlier disclosure involved Alice Huang, a woman associated with Singapore based company Megaspeed, who has been accused by US officials of having links to Chinese intelligence. Those allegations have prompted national security concerns and an independent investigation by Nvidia’s board.

The latest reports have intensified pressure on the company’s leadership. The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board was preparing to consider removing Huang as chief executive, although no formal decision had been announced.

Huang co founded Nvidia in 1993 and has led the company through its rise to become one of the world’s most influential technology businesses.

The allegations involving Powell remain unconfirmed, and neither she nor Huang had publicly addressed the latest report. Nvidia’s board investigation and the reported discussions about Huang’s future have placed the chief executive under growing scrutiny as the company faces questions about its leadership.
