Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing fresh allegations about his personal life. A new report has claimed that he was involved in an alleged relationship with another senior employee of the company.
According to a report, five former Nvidia employees spoke about an alleged relationship between Huang 63 and Kimberly Powell 48 who works as the company's Vice President of Healthcare. The report states that both were married to other people at the time of the alleged relationship.
Two former employees reportedly said that Huang and Powell were seen behaving affectionately at a hotel in San Jose, California. The incident is said to have happened in March during Nvidia's annual developer conference.
According to the report, another person recorded the interaction on a mobile phone. Huang's security team allegedly noticed the recording and asked the person to sign a non-disclosure agreement. But these claims have not been independently confirmed.
When asked about his relationship with Powell, Huang reportedly avoided giving a direct answer. Nvidia also declined to comment on the matter while Powell did not immediately respond to requests for a statement.
This is not the first controversy surrounding Huang's personal life. Earlier, reports about his alleged relationship with a Chinese executive named Alice Huang attracted attention. US intelligence officials have reportedly raised concerns about the executive's alleged links to Chinese intelligence. But China has rejected the espionage allegations.
Following the earlier controversy, Huang reportedly sent a letter to Nvidia employees admitting that he had been unfaithful to his wife. He also expressed regret over the pain caused to his wife and children.
Huang has been married to his wife, Lori, for around four decades. Meanwhile, the latest allegations have brought renewed attention to his personal life and professional responsibilities.
Kimberly Powell joined Nvidia in 2008 and became Vice President of Healthcare in 2017. She handles projects involving artificial intelligence, healthcare and higher education.
Jensen Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and played a major role in building the company into a global leader in AI chips.
