SAN FRANCISCO – Former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang misled several of the company’s leaders about the nature of his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, according to two sources familiar with the matter and internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters.

They included general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld.

Reuters reviewed several exchanges from October on condition of not quoting verbatim from the messages.

On Nov 12, Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO, a spectacular fall from the chip industry’s heights where he was a pioneer of technology central to the recent boom in artificial intelligence.

He apologised in a statement on Nov 8 for being unfaithful to his wife and for disappointing the company.

His statement did not specifically name Alice Huang, a former top executive of Nvidia customer Megaspeed International, whom the US was investigating for potentially spying for China.

The New York Times earlier this week reported Huang also had an extramarital relationship with an Nvidia employee, and Reuters reported on Nov 12 that Huang had another intimate relationship with a different Nvidia employee.

A representative for Jensen Huang and an Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment.
