Nvidia opens probe of CEO Huang being targeted by possible Chinese spy
The board says an independent committee and outside counsel will review reports that Huang was targeted in a foreign intelligence effort.
Today, NVIDIA announced an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following reports he was the "target of a foreign intelligence effort."
The New York Times and Financial Times reported that Huang had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese business woman accused of spying for China.
NVIDIA's board stated it has "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised," though it will examine all available information.
In a memo, Huang apologized for "unfaithful" actions, while NVIDIA stated he is "committed to continuing to lead NVIDIA as CEO without interruption."
Independent directors and outside counsel will oversee the inquiry as reports indicate government concerns about the situation reached Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
