NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang has issued a personal apology to his family and colleagues, admitting to being unfaithful to his wife and acknowledging the damage his actions have caused.
In a statement, Huang expressed remorse for his actions, accepting full responsibility for the hurt caused to his wife and children.
He said his family had always provided him with love and support but admitted that he had failed to show them the honesty and loyalty they deserved.
The NVIDIA boss also apologised directly to his wife and family, saying he understood that his apology could not undo the damage but hoped to rebuild their trust over time.
Addressing NVIDIA employees, board members, business partners and shareholders, Huang acknowledged that he had fallen short of the responsibilities that came with leading the company.
He reaffirmed his commitment to NVIDIA and pledged to regain the confidence of those who work with and depend on him.
His statement comes amid reports linking him to Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based technology company Megaspeed, who was reportedly suspected by US intelligence officials of working for China.
The allegations have prompted NVIDIA’s board to launch an independent investigation into whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.
The investigation will be overseen by a committee of independent directors and external legal counsel. NVIDIA said it had no reason to believe that national security or company secrets had been compromised.
Huang has expressed support for the investigation and pledged to cooperate fully. He is expected to remain in his position as chief executive, with the company reaffirming its confidence in his leadership.
