The hits just keep on coming for ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as details continue to emerge about indiscretions in his personal life.
Soon after stepping down on Thursday from the company he co-founded in 1993, news broke that the 63-year-old had a third affair with another underling.
Huang’s mistresses
Two sources familiar with the relationship told Reuters that Huang was intimately involved with a second Nvidia employee.
The news agency did not identify the employee and said attempts to contact the woman were unsuccessful.
On Wednesday, a day before Jensen’s resignation, the New York Times reported that Huang had a previous relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care.
Prior that, and what publicly kick-started the scrutiny on Huang, was his affair with Alice Huang (no relation to the disgraced exec), a Chinese businesswoman who U.S. officials suspect is a spy working for Beijing.
How did Jensen and Alice meet?
Alice’s husband, Kang Wei, had known Jensen “for a decade” and it was he who first introduced his wife to the ex-Nvidia chief, according to the Wall Street Journal .
“For two years, Kang appeared to accept his wife’s romantic relationship with the Nvidia CEO and spoke openly of their closeness,” the Journal reported.
Alice, also known as Huang Le, previously served as managing director at Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based cloud-computing company and Nvidia customer.
U.S. intelligence agencies believe Alice was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to dig up dirt about the Nvidia chief , accusations China has denied.
‘Very serious questions to answer’
As the FBI launched an investigation into Huang’s actions, Nvidia is also conducting an internal probe into whether Huang was “the target of a foreign intelligence effort.”
Meanwhile, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast told reporters Thursday that Huang’s team confirmed he would testify before Congress.
“Jensen and I have been very at odds as some of you already know on export controls, but Nvidia is a very important company to the United States of America,” Mast said, per NBC News . “I don’t want to see anything hurt in Nvidia, but he has some very serious questions to answer.”
‘I love our country’
Earlier this week, Huang confessed his infidelities to Nvidia employees, apologizing to them and his family, including his two grown children — who also work at Nvidia — for being “unfaithful” to his wife of more than 40 years, Lori Huang.
Jensen obviously did not go into any details or share any names, but he appeared to acknowledge his link to Alice in his statement.
“Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, Nvidia’s Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully,” Huang wrote.
“I love our country and our company,” he continued. “I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.”
