Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is under investigation by the company's board over allegations that he was targeted by foreign intelligence efforts, following a media report connecting him to a Chinese businesswoman linked to Beijing. The New York Times published a story last month suggesting Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based firm Megaspeed.
US authorities had previously investigated Alice Huang and deemed her to be a Chinese intelligence asset. Jensen Huang, 63, co-founded Nvidia in 1993 alongside Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, and has been the company's leader ever since. Born in Taiwan and raised in the United States, Huang has played a pivotal role in Nvidia's transformation from a video-game graphics chip maker to the world's leading supplier of AI processors.
His distinctive leather jackets and high-profile product launches have contributed to his status as one of Silicon Valley's longest-serving founder CEOs.
