Nvidia’s leadership crisis has deepened following reports of another alleged relationship involving its former chief executive, Jensen Huang. Meanwhile, US lawmakers are demanding answers about possible national security risks linked to his reported connections with China.
Reuters reported that Huang had an intimate relationship with a second Nvidia employee. The report cited two people familiar with the matter. The latest disclosure follows two previously reported relationships that intensified scrutiny of the technology giant.
Third Relationship Adds to Leadership Crisis
The newly reported relationship involved an employee whose identity Reuters has not disclosed. The news emerged shortly after Huang resigned from Nvidia on Thursday.
Earlier reports linked Huang to Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman whom US intelligence officials suspect of having connections to Chinese intelligence. Another reported relationship involved Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare.
Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a November 8 statement. However, he did not identify the individuals involved.
Nvidia has appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO while its board searches for a permanent replacement. The board has also launched an independent investigation with outside legal counsel.
US Lawmakers Demand Answers
The controversy has moved beyond corporate leadership and raised questions about the protection of sensitive American technology.
Senator Tim Scott, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, requested testimony from Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in December. Meanwhile, three House committees have sought closed-door interviews with Huang and Nvidia’s general counsel.
Lawmakers want clarification about potential security risks and the company’s business links involving China. They have also warned that subpoenas could follow if executives decline to cooperate.
Spy Allegations Remain Unproven
US Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department had not determined whether Alice Huang worked for Chinese intelligence. The FBI is investigating the matter, while China has rejected the allegations.
Singapore has also described a separate investigation involving suspected business-related offences. However, its authorities stressed that their inquiry did not concern espionage.
The controversy has also affected financial markets. Nvidia shares fell 5.5 per cent on Thursday and have lost more than 30 per cent since their early October peak.
As investigations continue, the fallout could affect Nvidia’s leadership, its international business relationships and the wider debate over US technology exports to China.
