Allegations of Relationship Between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Subordinate
It has been alleged that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is in a relationship with Kimberly Powell, a vice president who reports directly to him. This development, which has sparked debates regarding corporate ethics and conflicts of interest, comes at a time when Huang is already facing another investigation process.
It is alleged that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is having an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, the vice president of healthcare who reports directly to him. According to information provided by five Nvidia employees, the pair were observed in intimate moments during a conference in San Jose in March 2026.
According to the allegations, after a witness recorded the interaction on their phone, Nvidia security personnel intervened and demanded that the witness sign a non-disclosure agreement. The company's code of ethics prohibits personal relationships between employees and their subordinates, defining them as a conflict of interest.
This development coincides with a board investigation led by the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, concerning another alleged relationship Huang is said to have had with a woman accused by U.S. intelligence of being a Chinese agent. Following the news, Nvidia shares fell by approximately 8 percent in after-hours trading.
