New Delhi, Nov. 9: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has apologized to his family and employees after admitting that he was unfaithful to his wife.
In a letter addressed to Nvidia employees on November 8, Huang accepted full responsibility for his actions. He acknowledged hurting his wife and children and damaging the family’s trust.
“There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” Huang wrote.
He said his family had given him love and support throughout his life. However, he had failed to give them the honesty and loyalty they deserved.
“I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust,” he wrote.
Nvidia Board Launches Independent Investigation
Huang’s apology came as Nvidia’s Board of Directors announced an independent investigation. The move follows media reports that the company’s founder and CEO had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.
A committee of independent directors will oversee the inquiry with assistance from external independent counsel.
The board said it had no reason to believe that US national security or Nvidia’s confidential information had been compromised. However, it said the investigation would examine all available information.
Huang expressed support for the investigation and promised full cooperation. He also reaffirmed his commitment to protecting Nvidia and supporting US national security.
The board said it continued to have confidence in Huang and his leadership team.
Jensen Huang Accepts Responsibility, Seeks Privacy for Family
In his letter, Huang also apologised to Nvidia employees, board members, business partners and shareholders.
He described leading Nvidia as the privilege of his life. He acknowledged falling short of the responsibility to serve the company and earn the trust of its stakeholders.
He pledged to work towards regaining their confidence.
Addressing his family, Huang said they bore no responsibility for his decisions. He asked the public to respect their privacy.
Huang’s Children Also Work at Nvidia
The controversy has also drawn attention to Huang’s family connections with the company. Nvidia’s 2024 annual report disclosed that his son and daughter were employed by the company.
The disclosure stated that neither child was an executive officer or directly reported to Huang.
The board’s investigation is expected to examine the available information surrounding the reported foreign intelligence concerns. Nvidia has not announced any findings from the inquiry.
