Why It Matters
The extramarital affair of Huida CEO Huang Renxun was only recently exposed publicly, involving a woman suspected of spying for China. Huida's board of directors announced an independent investigation and said the decision was related to reports that Huang had been targeted by foreign intelligence activities.
[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] It is reported that Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang hired a crisis public relations company that specializes in handling sex scandals of famous figures at least a year before the extramarital affair was publicly exposed. According to the US technology media "Wired", the company hired by Huang Renxun is Heller Inc., which has assisted many well-known figures in dealing with private scandals and sexual misconduct allegations in the past.
It is worth noting that Huang Renxun only recently publicly admitted that he had had an extramarital affair with a woman suspected of spying for China.
According to an exclusive interview published in New York Magazine in 2023, Heller Inc. founder Lisa. Risa Heller has advised many high-profile men involved in private scandals and sexual misconduct allegations.
According to reports, Heller's past clients include former U.S. Congressman Anthony W. Anthony Weiner, famous chef Mario. Mario Batali, and former writer for The New Yorker Jeffrey. Jeffrey Toobin. These people have all received attention from the outside world due to private behavior or sexual-related controversies.
"Wired" also pointed out that shortly after the "New York Times" published a report in October 2025 exploring whether Huida helped Chinese companies circumvent U.S. chip export restrictions, Huida's internal public relations team received instructions that all media interviews or inquiries about Huang Renxun must include Heller Inc. as a copy recipient.
At that time, the New York Times reported that Megaspeed, a little-known data center company headquartered in Singapore with ties to China, had acquired Huida chips worth nearly US$2 billion. The report also mentioned Megaspeed CEO Alice Huang and described how she once stood next to Huang at a Huida customer gathering in Taipei. Huang was later accused of being involved in Huang's extramarital affair.
Neither Heller Inc. nor Huida immediately responded to media requests for comment on Wired's reports.
On the other hand, Huida released Huang Renxun's statement last Sunday, publicly admitting for the first time that he had had an extramarital affair with a former senior executive of Megaspeed, but Huang Le's name was not directly mentioned in the statement. In addition, Huida's board of directors also separately announced the launch of an independent investigation, noting that this decision was related to reports that Huang "had become a target of foreign intelligence activities."
