Alice Huang, Chinese businesswoman tied to Nvidia CEO, went from finance to chips
Known also as Huang Le, the Chinese businesswoman held senior roles at a Shanghai investment firm before becoming the controlling shareholder of Singapore-based cloud-computing company Megaspeed International, according to more than 30 publicly available financial records, corporate filings and company materials reviewed by Reuters.
Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman connected to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, transitioned from a finance career to becoming involved in the artificial intelligence chip industry. Huang, also known as Huang Le, held executive positions at a Shanghai investment firm and later became the controlling shareholder of Singapore-based Megaspeed International, a cloud-computing company.
Megaspeed was identified by the New York Times in October 2025 as a target of a U.S. investigation, suspected of assisting Chinese customers in obtaining restricted Nvidia chips. Huang's relationship with Nvidia's CEO has drawn increased attention, with U.S. authorities alleging she might have been a Chinese intelligence asset, passing information to Beijing while working closely with Jensen Huang.
However, China has denied these claims, and Reuters could not independently verify the intelligence allegation. Huang's whereabouts could not be determined, and she has not commented on the matter. Jensen Huang acknowledged on Sunday that he was unfaithful to his wife but expressed his commitment to supporting U.S. national security.
The reports have prompted U.S. lawmakers to question Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about potential intelligence activities and whether sensitive information was compromised.
