Nvidia board opens independent investigation after CEO Jensen Huang admits extramarital relationship with woman US intelligence suspected of Chinese espionage

Nvidia's board announced Sunday it is launching an independent investigation, overseen by a committee of independent directors and outside counsel, into reports that CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. Huang admitted in a message to employees that he was unfaithful to his wife and apologized, pledging to cooperate with the review while remaining CEO. The scrutiny follows an October New York Times report that US officials determined Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, was a Chinese intelligence asset who cultivated a relationship with Huang and whose company bought over $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips.
