Nvidia Board Probes Reports of Chinese Intelligence Effort Targeting CEO

Nvidia Board Probes Reports of Chinese Intelligence Effort Targeting CEO

Alice Huang, who is not related to the Nvidia chief, was a top executive at Megaspeed International, which partnered with Nvidia. The board said it has no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised.

A committee of independent directors will lead the investigation with outside counsel. Jensen Huang will remain CEO while it proceeds.

On Sunday, Huang apologized to staff for being unfaithful to his wife. “I owe my family and all of you an apology,” he wrote. “There is no excuse for what I did.” The affair and the reported intelligence concerns have drawn scrutiny to the head of a $4.5 trillion company and one of President Trump’s closest tech allies. Lawmakers from both parties are calling for answers.
