Nvidia’s board of directors has launched an independent probe into CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his relationship with a Chinese executive linked to Beijing intelligence, raising national security and corporate governance concerns.
NEW YORK: Nvidia chief and tech titan Jensen Huang was in the spotlight on Monday after acknowledging an affair with a woman US officials say was working for Chinese intelligence, a claim Beijing denied.
Late last month, The New York Times reported that US intelligence officials concluded that Alice Huang, a Chinese executive linked to a Singapore-based data center company called Megaspeed, had been funneling information to Beijing.
The executive, also known as Huang Le, and no relation to 63-year-old Taiwanese-born Jensen Huang, developed a close relationship with the Nvidia boss, the Times said.
