How Jensen Huang's sudden resignation from Nvidia unfolded step by step
Here's how Jensen Huang's abrupt resignation unfolded at Nvidia
Nvidia's board announced on November 12 that CEO Jensen Huang would resign that day, less than a week after the exposure of his extramarital affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy. The woman, Alice Huang, is not related to Jensen Huang; she became managing director of Singapore data center company Megaspeed in 2023, and the company subsequently bought billions of dollars of Nvidia chips and servers; according to financial documents reviewed by Reuters, its assets grew from $33 million in 2023 to $3 billion in 2024. According to The New York Times, U.S. government surveillance showed she appeared to pass information directly to Beijing; Jensen Huang admitted the affair to employees on November 8, and Nvidia's board said it had launched an independent investigation. According to Bloomberg, Singapore investigated Megaspeed and several other companies in February 2025 over suspected false declarations, and in February 2026 barred Alice Huang from re-entering the country; according to Caixin, her husband Kang Wei was detained by Chinese police the same month on suspicion of stock price manipulation.
