[Financial News] An allegation has emerged that former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang concealed an extramarital relationship before his resignation by describing his meetings with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang to senior company executives as routine client business.
On the 14th, Yonhap News Agency, citing foreign media reports, reported—based on information from two people familiar with the matter involving former CEO Jensen Huang and internal Nvidia messages—that in the fall of last year and in October this year, Jensen Huang told executives who asked about Alice Huang’s relationship with Singapore-based Megaspeed International that “the interactions were nothing improper.”
Alice Huang was a senior executive at Megaspeed International, an Nvidia customer.
In two messages sent in October this year, former CEO Jensen Huang described the interactions as routine business communications with a customer.
Executives who received the messages included Chief Legal Officer Tim Teter and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Allison Wagonfeld.
According to sources, Jensen Huang discussed legal action after The New York Times (NYT) reported in October last year on a public meeting between the two.
Neither Jensen Huang nor Nvidia actually filed a lawsuit.
Four days before stepping down as CEO, on the 8th (local time), Jensen Huang apologized to his spouse and the company in a public statement. Alice Huang was not named in the statement.
U.S. authorities investigated the possibility that Alice Huang had conducted intelligence activities on behalf of China, while the Chinese government denied the allegations.
Meanwhile, an additional allegation emerged on the 11th that former CEO Jensen Huang was also having an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, a vice president in Nvidia’s healthcare division. On the 12th, another allegation emerged that he was also involved in a personal relationship with another Nvidia employee.
