Reuters: Jensen Huang Had Another Affair With a Nvidia Employee
Reuters reported on 12 November that Nvidia founder Jensen Huang was also involved in a previously unreported affair with an employee of the company. Huang stepped down earlier the same day as CEO and board member.
The news agency Reuters reported on Thursday, 12 November, that Jensen Huang, founder of the technology company Nvidia, was having an extramarital affair with a company employee that had not been reported before. Nvidia is known for the chips used in artificial intelligence computing, so the leadership change is expected to be felt across the industry.
Resignation from his posts
Huang stepped down earlier today both as Nvidia's chief executive and as a member of its board. This followed reports of extramarital affairs with Alice Huang, who is accused of spying, and with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of health care. The new information concerns a third woman.
Nvidia's chief financial officer, Colette Kress, has taken over as interim CEO. No permanent successor has been named.
What is known about the new case
Reuters is withholding the name of the employee but says she works at Nvidia.
What comes next
Huang has been summoned to testify before the U.S. Congress in the coming weeks about the national security implications of his relationship with Alice Huang. It is unclear how much more will come to light before the hearings. His abrupt fall from prominence is already expected to have significant repercussions for the industry as a whole.
