Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, told staff on Sunday 8 Nov that he was deeply sorry for being unfaithful to his wife. The New York Times reports that Beijing recruited a Chinese national, Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, to gather intelligence on him during the relationship. Alice Huang reportedly held a senior post at Megaspeed International, a Singapore data centre firm that describes itself as a partner of Nvidia's cloud operations in Asia-Pacific. Photographs from a 2024 industry event appear to show the two together. AFP has been unable to verify the online profile listing her past jobs, and the companies named have been asked for comment.
