Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Admits Infidelity As Board Probes Alleged Chinese Spy Plot.
Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has admitted to being unfaithful to his wife in an internal message to employees, as the company’s board launches an independent investigation into allegations that he was targeted by a Chinese intelligence recruitment effort.
Huang, who is married to Lori Huang, apologised to his family and colleagues in the message obtained by the Financial Times, acknowledging that his actions had hurt his wife and children.
“I owe my family and all of you an apology.
I am deeply sorry.” Although Huang did not identify the woman involved, the Financial Times and The New York Times reported that US officials had linked him romantically to Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a company that had business dealings with Nvidia. A classified US intelligence memo reportedly identified Alice as a possible recruit of China’s Ministry of State Security, raising concerns about a potential foreign intelligence operation targeting the Nvidia chief. The reports did not establish that Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence operative or that Jensen Huang knowingly participated in any intelligence-related activity. In October, Huang told Bloomberg News that his interactions with Alice were connected to Megaspeed’s business dealings with Nvidia and were “completely normal and not unusual.” Following his admission to employees, Nvidia’s board announced an independent investigation into the allegations surrounding its founder and chief executive.
