Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sent an apology to employees and acknowledged he had an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a woman who is allegedly a Chinese spy.
The circumstances, first reported by the New York Times and later by the Financial Times, could throw the future of Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company with a market valuation of $5.2 trillion into doubt. The company’s board said it has launched an investigation into the situation.
In a statement, an Nvidia spokesperson said, “Today’s news will not slow Nvidia. Jensen is committed to continuing to lead Nvidia as CEO without interruption.” Huang did not name Alice Huang (no relation), in his note, but in its reporting, the New York Times identified her in a story previously.
In the message to employees, Huang wrote, “I owe my family and all of you an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”
He added, “Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.”
And he said, “To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done.
