Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, who was forced to step down, had an intimate relationship with another employee at the company, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Huang resigned on Thursday (12 November) after two other extramarital affairs came to light. The women involved were Huang Le, whom US intelligence agencies suspect of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice-president of healthcare.
Reuters did not disclose the employee’s identity. Attempts to contact her were unsuccessful.
Nvidia declined to comment. Powell, Jensen Huang and representatives of Nvidia’s board did not respond to requests for comment. Huang Le could not be reached.
After reports emerged of his relationship with Huang Le, Jensen Huang issued a statement on 8 November acknowledging that he had had an extramarital affair, but did not name the woman involved.
