Nvidia Vice President of Healthcare Kimberly Powell Cancels Attendance at Milken Health Summit
According to a post by CNN medical reporter Meg Tirrell on X, Nvidia Vice President of Healthcare Kimberly Powell has canceled her planned remarks at tomorrow morning’s opening session of the Milken Institute Future of Health Summit. Tirrell said she will host the panel discussion, and organizers informed her that Powell had canceled her planned attendance.
Previously, The New York Times reported that Huang Renxun and Powell, who reports to him, had an extramarital relationship, and said the two were seen engaging in intimate interaction at a hotel in San Jose (the report said no video was seen). Nvidia, Huang Renxun, and Powell have all not confirmed the report. Tirrell has contacted Nvidia about the matter, and neither side has publicly explained the reason for the cancellation.
Powell had originally planned to take part in summit-related discussions. Nvidia’s board had previously initiated an independent investigation into the incident involving Huang Renxun.

An executive canceled attendance at a public event after media reports said she was involved in a relationship with the CEO. Powell canceled her remarks at the Milken Institute Future of Health Summit, and organizers have notified the moderator. Earlier, The New York Times reported on her relationship with Huang Renxun, which neither side has confirmed.
Unlike continuing as planned, this path shifts the public event from execution to cancellation. In a similar situation, capital would focus on whether the cancellation is linked to the reporting and on the company’s practical management of executive public appearances. Nvidia has not yet responded to the reason for the cancellation.
This cancellation moves Powell from summit speaker to absence. The beneficiaries are the parties seeking to avoid further public exposure; the summit organizers, meanwhile, must adjust the agenda. The structural change is that the executive’s public appearance has shifted from a normal schedule to an adjustment prompted by personal reporting, while neither the company nor the individual has publicly explained the reason.
