Why Nvidia's board is investigating CEO Jensen Huang: All you need to know
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang will remain in his role as the company's board investigates reports that he was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation
Nvidia has launched an internal investigation led by a committee of independent directors to determine if co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, according to Inc. and Business Insider. While the board stated it has no reason to believe company secrets were compromised, Quartz reports that Huang apologized to staff for being unfaithful to his wife.
In a memo to employees, Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, according to Business Insider. This follows a report from The New York Times in October stating that US officials believed a Chinese intelligence asset, Alice Huang—an executive for Nvidia customer Megaspeed—had developed a relationship with the CEO. Despite the investigation, Business Standard IN reports that Huang will remain in his role.
