Jensen Huang’s troubles have deepened with Reuters reporting that the former Nvidia CEO had an intimate relationship with a second employee at the chipmaker, adding another layer to the controversy that culminated in his resignation on Thursday.

According to Reuters, two people familiar with the matter said Huang had a relationship with another Nvidia employee, whose identity the news agency has withheld. The revelation follows reports of two other extramarital relationships involving Huang, including one with Alice Huang – the woman suspected by US intelligence of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell – a senior Nvidia executive.

The latest report comes days after Huang acknowledged having an affair, in a statement issued on November 8, following reports about his relationship with Alice Huang, without identifying her by name.

According to the report, the latest revelation concerns an intimate relationship between Huang and another Nvidia employee. The news agency said it was not naming the employee.

The New York Times had earlier reported that Huang was involved in an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, who reports to him.

Citing five people who had worked at the company, the report had mentioned that the relationship had not been previously reported.

The report also raised questions about Nvidia’s workplace conduct policies.

According to the NYT, the company’s code of conduct asks employees to avoid situations in which their actions create conflicts, including those involving personal relationships. The company also states that it promptly investigates reports of misconduct.

The newspaper reported that Huang, 63, and Powell, 48, were captured on video being affectionate at a hotel in San Jose, California, during an Nvidia conference in March.

Both Huang and Powell are married to other people.

HUANG RESIGNS AS NVIDIA CEO

The revelations came as Nvidia faced an escalating leadership crisis, with Huang stepping down as CEO on Thursday after reports of his extramarital relationships.

In its report on his departure, Reuters said the controversy had plunged the chipmaker into crisis and sent shockwaves across the artificial intelligence industry that Huang helped build.

Nvidia Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will take over as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent successor, considering both internal and external candidates.

Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993, will also leave the company’s board. He was Nvidia’s fourth-largest shareholder, holding a 3.61 per cent stake.

The company has named former Synopsys CEO and longtime Nvidia director Harvey Jones as its first board chair.

Kress acknowledged the difficult period in a memo to employees, writing: “The Board, Estaff (executive staff) and I recognise that this has been an extraordinarily difficult period.”

She also said the company would hold a meeting on November 18.

Reuters reported that Huang’s exit could have implications for the AI ecosystem, given Nvidia’s investments in cloud providers, suppliers and major AI laboratories.

The company had become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, with surging demand for computing power driving a sevenfold increase in its shares through early October and taking its market value to nearly $6 trillion at one point.
