Nvidia CEO returns to work after affair disclosure

cnbc.com —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang returned to work Monday after disclosing an extramarital affair, holding his regular executive meeting and apologizing to staff before pivoting to business, as employees described the mood as "sad." Huang addressed his infidelity at the closed-door gathering without taking questions, and remained in the office Tuesday ahead of the company's quarterly earnings report. The board has launched an investigation into the affair, which reportedly involved a former Megaspeed executive, hiring law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. Longtime employees, who viewed Huang as an idol, are struggling with the revelation, which has also drawn scrutiny to his advocacy for AI chip sales to China. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has become a central figure in the AI boom, accompanying President Donald Trump to China in May.
