Reuters: Nvidia founder Jensen Huang had a third, previously unreported affair
Reuters reports that Jensen Huang, founder of chipmaker Nvidia, had another previously unreported affair with a company employee. Huang stepped down today as CEO and board member.
Nvidia founder Jensen Huang was involved in a further extramarital affair with an employee of the company, Reuters reported on Thursday, November 12. Nvidia is a technology company that Huang led as chief executive. The report follows his departure today from his roles as CEO and board member.
According to Reuters, the new relationship is the third to come to light. Earlier reports covered Huang's affairs with Alice Huang, whom the source describes as an accused spy, and with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of health care. Reuters is withholding the name of the third woman but says she works at Nvidia.
Leadership and next steps
Chief financial officer Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO. No permanent successor has been named.
Huang has been called before the US Congress to testify in the coming weeks about the national security implications of his relationship with Alice Huang. It is unclear how much more will be revealed before the hearings take place.
TechCrunch notes that his abrupt fall from grace is expected to have significant repercussions for the industry at large.
