Key Notes
- Reuters cites two sources describing a relationship between Jensen Huang and a second Nvidia employee.
- The new allegation follows earlier reports involving Alice Huang and Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell.
- Colette Kress is interim CEO and CFO while Nvidia searches for a permanent successor.
Former Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) chief executive Jensen Huang had an intimate relationship with a second company employee, Reuters reported Thursday, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Reuters did not identify the employee and said attempts to reach her were unsuccessful. The report adds a third alleged relationship to the controversy surrounding Huang’s departure from the chipmaker.
Earlier Reports Involved Two Other Women
The two women identified in earlier reporting were Alice Huang, a businesswoman, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare. The newly reported employee is a different person.
Nvidia declined to comment on the latest report. Huang, Powell and a representative of Nvidia’s board did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment, while Alice Huang could not be reached.
Huang acknowledged an affair in a November 8 statement following reports about his relationship with Alice Huang, without naming her. That admission did not confirm the two reported relationships with Nvidia employees.
Kress Leads Nvidia During the CEO Search
Nvidia announced its leadership change on Thursday. In a separate company statement, it said Huang had resigned as president, chief executive and a director, with Colette Kress taking over as interim CEO.
Kress, who has led Nvidia’s finance organization since September 2013, will also retain her CFO responsibilities. The board is considering internal and external candidates for the permanent position and has named Harvey C. Jones its first chair.
The transition announcement did not give a reason for Huang’s resignation. It said directors expected Nvidia’s operations, customer commitments and product roadmap to continue without interruption.
For NVDA shareholders, the next scheduled financial update is close: Nvidia will report fiscal third-quarter 2027 results on November 17. The release is due at approximately 21:20 UTC, followed by an earnings call at 22:00 UTC, giving Kress her first scheduled results presentation as interim chief executive.
