Nvidia Board Prepares to Fire CEO Jensen Huang Over Affair Reports

Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang is facing potential removal by the company board following new reports about a workplace relationship. According to recent reports, Huang had an affair with a direct report at the firm, Kimberly Powell, who serves as the vice president of health care. Sources state that the two were seen showing affection at a hotel during a company conference.

Board Investigation and Code of Conduct

The reports indicate that security personnel allegedly intervened when a hotel witness recorded the interaction on a smartphone, offering money in exchange for a signed nondisclosure agreement. Company policies explicitly mention that personal relationships can create conflicts of interest. Nvidia has not yet provided a comment regarding these claims, and the board continues to review leadership conduct.

Broader Investigations and Political Scrutiny

This development follows earlier reports regarding a separate relationship with a former executive who U.S. intelligence officials suspect of spying for China. Law firms have begun filing lawsuits on behalf of shareholders who argue that the company misled them about business facts. Additionally, a congressional committee has requested a closed-door meeting with Huang to address potential national security questions.
