Who is Alice Huang, the Megaspeed executive at the center of the Jensen Huang controversy

Alice Huang, a Chinese national and former executive at Megaspeed International, has become a focal point in the controversy surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer, came under scrutiny by US authorities for allegedly aiding Chinese businesses in accessing Nvidia's AI chips, despite export controls.

Huang first gained attention in 2024 when she was spotted in a LinkedIn post with Jensen Huang at a bar. Their relationship continued to be a topic of interest, with Taiwanese media footage from May 2025 showing them leaving a Taipei restaurant together.

On November 10, 2025, Huang resigned from her positions as director and managing director at Megaspeed. Prior to her role at Megaspeed, Huang had worked as an executive director at a Shanghai investment fund that had backed 7Road, a Chinese online gaming company.

Megaspeed's ownership structure changed several times following Huang's appointment. In November 2025, ownership was transferred to Swiftdata, a Singapore company incorporated only a month prior. Swiftdata remains Megaspeed's sole shareholder.

Despite the controversy, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang maintains that his interactions with Huang were routine business dealings. His note to staff, however, revealed that he had been unfaithful to his wife, though he did not directly address the relationship with Alice Huang.
