Jensen Huang misled Nvidia leaders about affair with Chinese businesswoman

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled company leaders, including general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld, about his affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, according to sources and internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters. Huang resigned as CEO on Thursday, apologizing for being unfaithful to his wife. In October messages, he described interactions with Alice Huang, a former executive at Nvidia customer Megaspeed International, as standard business dealings. He also discussed legal action against the New York Times, which was not pursued. Alice Huang, who shares a last name but is not related to Jensen, was under US investigation for potential spying for China, which Beijing denies. Nvidia's stock has fallen over 30% since October, erasing more than US$1.8 trillion in market value.
