Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Returns to Office After Affair Admission

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang apologized to employees at a regular meeting with senior executives Monday, then moved to the day’s business agenda as he returned to the company’s Santa Clara, California, headquarters after disclosing he had been unfaithful to his wife.

Huang did not take questions at the closed-door gathering. He returned to the office Tuesday for more meetings, about a week before Nvidia’s quarterly earnings report. The mood among employees was somber, and one employee was shocked by his disclosure.

In his message to employees, Huang also apologized to his family, colleagues, board members, business partners and shareholders. He pledged to cooperate with the board’s review.

On Tuesday, the board hired Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct its independent investigation.
