Recent reporting from The New York Times on November 11 detailed an alleged extramarital relationship between NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice president of healthcare who reports directly to him. The claims, based on accounts from five former employees, cite the pair being observed in an affectionate encounter at a San Jose hotel during the March GTC conference, with a bystander reportedly recording video that Huang’s security team allegedly sought to suppress via nondisclosure agreement. This follows the board’s November 8 launch of an independent investigation into Huang’s conduct—initially tied to a separate alleged affair involving a suspected foreign intelligence asset—and the retention of external counsel on November 10. Powell canceled a scheduled appearance at the Milken Institute Future of Health Summit hours after the story broke. No official confirmation or denial has come from NVIDIA, Huang, or Powell, and the probe has not publicly referenced her role. Trader sentiment centers on whether the ongoing governance review and leadership pressure will prompt Powell’s exit, with the next board actions on Huang’s status serving as the key near-term catalyst.
