Abstract:
Recently, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has received attention due to personal relationship turmoil and related national security controversies. On November 8, Huang Renxun admitted in an internal letter to all employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized to his family, employees and company shareholders. On the same day, Nvidia’s board of directors announced the launch of an independent investigation. The reason for the investigation was due to recent reports that Huang Renxun may be the target of foreign intelligence operations.
Today, independent members of Nvidia's board of directors issued the latest statement,
announcing that they have hired Joon H. Kim, the former acting federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, and his law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to launch a comprehensive and independent investigation into related incidents.
This hiring is a further arrangement after NVIDIA's board of directors previously announced the launch of an independent investigation.
Regarding issues of national security and commercial secrets that are of concern to the outside world, NVIDIA's board of directors stated,
There is currently no reason to believe that U.S. national security or NVIDIA's confidential information has been compromised, but the investigation will review all available information.
Huang Jensen fully supports this review and promises to cooperate with the investigation.
Nvidia’s board of directors also stated that it maintains confidence in Huang Renxun and his management team and will announce more investigation progress at the appropriate time.
