Nvidia: who is Kimberly Powell, Jensen Huang’s second alleged mistress?
The founder and CEO of the US multinational is also said to have had another affair with a senior executive
A new twist in the scandal that has engulfed Nvidia, the global leader in artificial intelligence hardware. The founder and CEO Jensen Huang, who is awaiting a decision on his future from the board of directors following revelations about his links to an alleged Chinese spy, is reported to have had a second affair with an Nvidia executive. The woman in question is Kimberly Powell, vice-president of the health division at the American multinational.
Who is Kimberly Powell
The 48-year-old executive, who reported directly to Huang, joined Nvidia in 2008 after graduating with a degree in electronic engineering from Northeastern University in Boston and gaining some work experience in the field of medical imaging.
Until 2016, he was responsible for expanding Nvidia’s strategy in the healthcare sector, building relationships with universities and companies. He subsequently became vice-president in charge of the ‘Healthcare’ division, where he was responsible for the company’s global healthcare business, with a particular focus on medical imaging technologies.
He plays a leading role, representing the company around the world in a sector that is crucial to Nvidia’s growth strategy. According to reports in the New York Times, Huang and Powell were reportedly seen acting affectionately during a company conference in California in March this year.
Both are married to other people, and so far there have been no official comments on the matter from the executive, the company or Huang, who in recent days had, however, admitted to having a relationship with Alice Huang, who is believed by US intelligence to be a Beijing informant.
