Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled top lawyer on affair with Chinese businesswoman

The board hired Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz after reports of his relationship with Alice Huang and U.S. suspicions that she spied for China.

  • Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reportedly misled senior company executives, including General Counsel Tim Teter and Chief Marketing Officer Alison Wagonfeld, about his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang.
  • According to Reuters, Huang repeatedly described his interactions with Alice Huang as routine business dealings despite later admitting that he had been unfaithful to his wife.
  • Internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters revealed that Huang reassured company officials in October that his relationship with the businesswoman was strictly professional.
  • The relationship attracted additional scrutiny after US intelligence officials reportedly raised concerns that Alice Huang might have links to Chinese intelligence, although Reuters has not independently verified the espionage allegations and Beijing has denied them.
  • Nvidia's independent board members launched an investigation into the controversy, while Huang resigned as CEO on November 12, 2026, following reports of multiple alleged extramarital relationships.
