Fresh allegations have emerged involving Jensen Huang, the former Chief Executive Officer of NVIDIA, following reports that he had an intimate relationship with another employee of the technology company.
According to Reuters, which cited two people familiar with the matter, Huang was involved in a relationship with a second NVIDIA employee. The report was published on November 12, the same day the company announced his resignation.
The latest revelation adds to a growing controversy surrounding the former CEO, whose departure marks the end of 33 years leading the semiconductor company he co-founded.
Another Alleged Relationship Comes to Light
In its exclusive report, Reuters said the identity of the additional employee was being withheld. The news agency attempted to contact the woman but was unsuccessful.
NVIDIA declined to comment on the latest report, while Huang and representatives of the company’s board did not respond to requests for comment.
The new allegation follows earlier reports involving two other women: Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected by U.S. intelligence authorities of having connections to Chinese intelligence, and Kimberly Powell, NVIDIA’s Vice President of Healthcare.
The intelligence-related allegations concerning Alice Huang have not been established as fact.
According to CBS News, the Reuters revelation emerged after NVIDIA announced Huang’s resignation, adding another development to the controversy.
Earlier Reports About an NVIDIA Executive
Before the latest Reuters report, Huang had already faced allegations concerning a relationship with Kimberly Powell, a senior executive at NVIDIA.
According to reporting described by The Guardian, The New York Times reported that Huang and Powell had allegedly been seen behaving affectionately at a company conference in March.
The reported relationship drew attention because Powell held a senior position within NVIDIA.
The allegations formed part of a wider series of revelations about Huang’s personal conduct that emerged in the days preceding his resignation.
Huang Previously Acknowledged Marital Infidelity
On November 8, Huang publicly acknowledged having been unfaithful to his wife.
Reuters reported that Huang’s statement followed revelations concerning his relationship with Alice Huang, although he did not identify the woman involved in his acknowledgment.
The controversy subsequently expanded beyond questions about his personal life when reports raised concerns about possible foreign intelligence involvement.
NVIDIA’s board initiated an independent investigation into reports that Huang may have been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.
The company stated that it had no reason at that time to believe its confidential information or national security had been compromised.
