“Nvidia” has hired New York law firm “Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz” to investigate the relationship between its chief executive, Jensen Huang, and a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy, according to the BBC.
Huang, a co-founder of “Nvidia” who has led the company as it became one of the world’s most valuable, acknowledged having a romantic relationship with a woman outside his marriage.
The woman, Alice Huang, is alleged to be a spy for Beijing. She is an executive at Singapore-based company “Megaspeed”, which has been a customer of “Nvidia”.
“Nvidia” said on Tuesday that Wachtell attorney Joon Kim would lead “a thorough and independent investigation” into the relationship. The FBI is also conducting its own investigation.
Kim is a former US attorney for New York’s Southern District. He spent several years as a government attorney focused on fraud and other criminal acts.
“Wachtell” is one of the largest law firms in the United States and has several prominent clients in the technology industry, including “OpenAI” and “Salesforce”.
