Jensen Huang Second Affair Claims Need Source Verification

A November 11 New York Times report alleged that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a relationship with health-care vice president Kimberly Powell, citing five people who worked at the company. The Jensen Huang second affair story adds a workplace-governance issue to an independent board investigation already examining national security concerns.

Nvidia directors were also preparing to consider removing Huang, according to Wall Street Journal reporting described by Cointelegraph. The developments put the founder’s leadership under pressure ahead of the company’s scheduled November 17 earnings release.

What the November 11 Reports Allege About the Jensen Huang Second Affair

What Did the Times Account Say?

The Times allegation concerns a relationship between Huang and Powell, an executive who reports to him. Both are married to other people, according to BeInCrypto’s account of the November 11 coverage.

The reporting places an internal executive relationship at the center of the latest controversy. Powell oversees Nvidia’s health-care technology efforts, making the alleged relationship relevant to the company’s management structure as well as Huang’s personal conduct.

PC Gamer’s account included an allegation that Huang and Powell were seen “being affectionate” at a hotel near an Nvidia conference earlier in the year. A bystander allegedly recorded the interaction, and security personnel reportedly offered the person an unspecified arrangement in exchange for signing a nondisclosure agreement. The terms of that alleged offer were unknown.
