Nvidia Board issues another statement, 2 days after saying not 'firing' Jensen Huang
Nvidia's board has launched an inquiry into CEO Jensen Huang following claims of compromising sensitive company information. In a surprising turn, Huang acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, raising national security flags due to her links with Chinese intelligence. Although no current evidence points to jeopardized security, the investigation is set to explore this aspect.
On November 10, Nvidia's board of directors announced they had hired Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate CEO Jensen Huang and whether company secrets or national security were compromised. Huang admitted to having an affair with Alice Huang, the CEO of a Singapore-based company MegaSpeed, who has ties to Chinese intelligence.
The board stated that the investigation would examine all available information and that they had no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. Huang supported the review and committed to cooperating with it. The board expressed confidence in Huang's leadership and promised further updates as needed.
