Nvidia CEO Huang had relationship with executive who reported to him, NYT reports
The board hired outside counsel as the reports raised conflict-of-interest concerns and sent Nvidia shares down more than 3%, officials and traders said.
- On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, The New York Times reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, a senior executive who reports to him, triggering an 8.3% after-hours stock decline.
- This disclosure follows an October 29 report regarding Huang's close relationship with Alice Huang, a tech executive whom U.S. officials identified as a suspected Chinese intelligence asset; Huang admitted infidelity in a November 8 email to employees.
- Nvidia's board hired the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to lead an independent investigation into whether Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence, while the probe examines all available information regarding his conduct.
- Representatives Brian Mast and John Moolenaar, chairs of influential House committees, demanded Huang appear for a closed-door briefing by November 18 regarding his conduct and espionage defenses, threatening subpoenas if he ignored the request.
- Investors remain wary ahead of Nvidia's third-quarter earnings report on November 17, as the company faces uncertainty regarding potential leadership changes and lacks a publicly disclosed succession plan for Huang.
