The former chief executive resigned on Thursday following disclosures surrounding two prior affairs, including one with Kimberly Powell, the vice president of health care at the firm. Another involved Alice Huang, a woman suspected by American intelligence of operating as a Chinese spy, which prompted an initial admission of an affair on November 8. This newly reported involvement centers on an unnamed employee who could not be reached for comment.
