Jensen Huang second affair allegation: Everything to know about Kimberly Powell - Geo News

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing a fresh leadership crisis after reports of a second extramarital relationship.

This time he is linked with Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice president of healthcare.

The allegation was first reported by The New York Times and has intensified scrutiny on Huang and prompted Nvidia’s board to reportedly weigh his future.

Powell, 48, is a senior Nvidia executive who leads the company’s global healthcare business, focusing on bringing AI and accelerated computing into medical imaging, before taking charge of higher education and research at Nvidia AI labs and the company’s inception program for AI startups.

In 2017, she became vice president of healthcare. Before Nvidia, she worked at DOME Imaging Systems and Planar Systems and graduated from Boston University.

The New York Times reported that Powell and Huang had been involved in a romantic relationship, citing five people familiar with Nvidia who said the relationship has also been discussed within the company.

The report also described an alleged encounter at a hotel in San Jose, California, during Nvidia’s annual GTC conference in March. Two sources reportedly saw the pair behaving affectionately, and a bystander allegedly recorded the interaction on a phone.

Huang’s security personnel separated the individual and offered them a nondisclosure agreement. The newspaper said it had not seen the recording.

The allegation follows Huang’s November 8 acknowledgement of marital infidelity tied to separate claims involving Alice Huang, a former executive linked to Singapore-based Megaspeed.

Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation, saying it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised. Shares fell 8% in after-hours trading on November 11.
