Alice Huang, Chinese businesswoman tied to Nvidia CEO, went from finance to chips

Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman believed to be around 42 years old, has made a career shift from finance to the field of artificial-intelligence chips. Her background includes senior roles at a Shanghai investment firm and as the controlling shareholder of Singapore-based cloud-computing company Megaspeed International. Huang is linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, though they are not related.

She previously worked in banking and investment management, as per fund industry records and financial filings reviewed by Reuters. Huang has faced scrutiny due to US allegations that she may have been a Chinese intelligence asset who passed information to Beijing during her association with Nvidia. However, Reuters could not independently verify these claims.
