Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hired Heller Inc., a crisis communications firm known for handling sex scandals, at least a year before he publicly acknowledged an extramarital affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, Wired reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Heller Inc. founder Risa Heller has advised prominent men through personal scandals and sexual misconduct accusations, according to a 2023 New York Magazine<\/a> profile. Her reported clients include former congressman Anthony Weiner<\/a>, celebrity chef Mario Batali<\/a>, and former New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin.<\/a><\/p>\n Wired also reported that Nvidia\u2019s internal communications team was told to copy Heller Inc. on press inquiries about Huang shortly after an October 2025 New York Times report<\/a> about whether Nvidia was helping Chinese companies evade U.S. chip export restrictions.<\/p>\n The Times reported that Megaspeed, a then little-known Singapore-based data center company with ties to China, had acquired nearly $2 billion worth of Nvidia chips. It described Megaspeed CEO Alice Huang, the woman later linked to Jensen Huang, standing next to him at a Taipei gathering of Nvidia customers.<\/p>\n Heller and Nvidia didn\u2019t immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n On Sunday, Nvidia published a statement<\/a> from Huang acknowledging an affair with a former Megaspeed executive, though he didn\u2019t name Alice Huang. Nvidia\u2019s board separately announced<\/a> an independent investigation, citing reports that Huang \u201chas been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
