Reuters: Nvidia ex-CEO misled executives over ties to Chinese businesswoman

Reuters has revealed that Jensen Huang, the former CEO of Nvidia, misled several company executives about the nature of his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, after presenting them with an account describing his interactions with her as routine business dealings, according to internal correspondence seen by the agency.

The correspondence includes two emails sent by Jensen Huang in October to several Nvidia executives, in which he asserted that his dealings with Alice Huang were strictly business-related. These messages shed light on the information he provided to company officials regarding the nature of their relationship.

Reuters stated that its report is based on internal communications it reviewed, making it the first outlet to publish details of the exchanges between Huang and Nvidia executives, which included his explanations about his relationship with the Chinese businesswoman.

Alice Huang previously held a position at Megaspeed International. Jensen Huang’s public apology did not address the nature of his relationship with her or disclose any details, even though the internal emails confirmed to Nvidia executives that his interactions with her did not go beyond standard business dealings.
