Reuters reported on Thursday, November 21, citing two sources familiar with the matter, that Jensen Huang, the resigned CEO of Nvidia, had an extramarital affair with another employee at the company. The report comes after Huang's two other affairs were exposed, leading to a management crisis at the artificial intelligence chip giant and his resignation.
Huang's two previous relationships were reported to be with Alice Huang, a Chinese businessman who US intelligence agencies suspect of spying for Beijing, and Kimberly Powell, vice president of Nvidia's healthcare division. The third woman was not named in the new Reuters report. Huang previously admitted to having an extramarital affair in a statement and apologized to his wife, family and company employees. "There is no justification for what I did," he said. I am deeply sorry."
Following Huang's resignation, Nvidia appointed its chief financial officer, Colette Kress, as interim CEO. Also, the board of directors announced that it will examine options from within the company and outside of it to choose his permanent successor. Huang, 63 and co-founder of Nvidia, also stepped down from the board.
Reuters news agency also reported that Donald Trump wrote on the social network a social truth: “Now that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who had a great performance, has resigned, there is only one person who can take his place; Tim Cook from Apple". He added: "One myth takes the place of another myth.
