Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang is facing fresh allegations of an extramarital affair, following reports that he was involved with a senior executive at the company.
The New York Times reports that Huang is suspected of having an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, who reports directly to him. Both executives are married.
The development comes amid an ongoing investigation involving Huang, following his admission of an affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy.
According to the newspaper, five Nvidia employees disclosed the alleged relationship. The sources claimed that Huang and Powell were captured on video behaving affectionately at a hotel in San Jose, California, during a conference earlier this year.
Like many companies, Nvidia has policies discouraging romantic relationships between senior executives and employees who report to them, according to The New York Times. TechCrunch said it contacted the company for comment.
Meanwhile, Nvidia’s board has launched an investigation into Huang’s publicly acknowledged affair. Separately, two Republican members of the US House of Representatives said on Wednesday that Congress was preparing to subpoena the CEO over allegations involving a suspected Chinese spy if he failed to respond voluntarily to their invitation for a closed-door briefing.
