Former Nvidia CEO Huang had relationship with second employee: Reuters
Reuters said the unnamed employee is the third woman linked to Huang, deepening a scandal that has erased $450 billion in Nvidia value.
- On Thursday, November 12, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned unconditionally after weeks of denying infidelity allegations. The board appointed chief financial officer Colette Kress as interim CEO, ending his association with the company completely.
- Allegations involved Alice Huang, suspected of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice-president of health care. After Nvidia general counsel Tim Teter confronted Huang, he confessed, prompting the board to investigate.
- Huang's hands-on management of around 60 executives deteriorated significantly as the scandal unfolded. According to people who spoke with him, he surrendered his usual demeanor, using phrases such as "whatever" and "I don't care" while castigating himself as a "piece of s***".
- Interim CEO Colette Kress pledged to reassure employees, scheduling an all-hands meeting for November 18. A day earlier, Nvidia reports quarterly results that Wall Street analysts predict will show a near doubling of sales growth.
- In the coming weeks, Huang is expected to testify before Congress regarding his relationship with Alice Huang. Politicians will question whether the association potentially put secrets of Nvidia's state-of-the-art chips at risk.
