Nvidia Board Investigates CEO Affair
Tap title to read story
Nvidia’s board announced on Sunday that it is launching an independent investigation after CEO Jensen Huang disclosed an extramarital affair with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, whom U.S. officials suspect is a Chinese spy.
The board says it has found no evidence that national security or company secrets were compromised.
A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington dismissed the allegations in late October as “groundless smears and slanders,” and no one has been charged.
U.S. intelligence officials reportedly briefed President Donald Trump about their concerns a year ago, and unnamed senior officials inside the Trump administration doubted Huang could have remained unaware of Alice Huang’s intelligence‑gathering role.
