Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife, apologizing to her, their children, and colleagues for the harm his actions caused. He accepted responsibility without offering an excuse, acknowledged that he had damaged his family’s trust, and said he hoped they could heal. Huang also apologized to Nvidia’s board, employees, business partners, and shareholders, saying he had fallen short of the standard expected of the company’s leader and would work to regain their confidence.

The relationship has drawn national security scrutiny because the other person is described in news reports as a suspected Chinese spy. Huang said Nvidia’s board had opened an independent investigation into the concerns and pledged to cooperate fully. He also affirmed his commitment to the company and to protecting Nvidia and supporting U.S. national security. The statement emphasized that his family was not responsible for his decisions and asked that they be given privacy. Nvidia’s public policy communications chief said the news would not disrupt the company’s operations and that Huang would continue as CEO without interruption.
