MORE RELATIONSHIP ALLEGATIONS EMERGE AFTER JENSEN HUANG’S REPORTED NVIDIA EXIT
Further allegations about Jensen Huang’s personal relationships have emerged following his reported resignation as Nvidia chief executive.
Two people familiar with the matter reportedly alleged that Huang had a relationship with another employee, whose identity was not disclosed. The claim has not been independently established.
Huang reportedly stepped down on November 12 after an emergency board meeting, with Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress appointed interim chief executive while directors search for a permanent replacement.
The latest allegation follows reports linking Huang to Nvidia healthcare executive Kimberly Powell and businesswoman Alice Huang, who is unrelated to him.
Huang acknowledged an extramarital relationship in a November 8 statement without identifying the person involved.
Reports also alleged that US intelligence officials suspected Alice Huang of links to Chinese intelligence. Beijing has denied that accusation.
Nvidia’s independent directors are reportedly investigating whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation, with assistance from outside lawyers.
The company declined to comment on the latest relationship allegation. Huang, Powell and a board representative reportedly did not respond to requests for comment.
The controversy has coincided with sharp losses in Nvidia’s share price, adding pressure on the chipmaker during its leadership transition.
