Nvidia Board Opens Independent Investigation After Reports CEO Jensen Huang Was Targeted by Foreign Intelligence
Nvidia’s board of directors said Sunday it is starting an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.
In a statement posted to the company’s newsroom Nov. 8, the board said a committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the inquiry. It said the inquiry “will examine all available information.”
The board said it has no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. It described U.S. national and economic security as “paramount to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders.”
Huang fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it, the board said. The statement added that the board “has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team and will provide further updates as appropriate.”
In a message to employees that Nvidia also published Sunday, Huang referred to the national security concerns raised in news reports and said the board has initiated an independent investigation. He said he supports it and will cooperate fully, and that he is committed to protecting Nvidia and supporting America’s national security.
Nvidia did not disclose a timeline for the investigation or name the committee’s members or outside counsel in the statement.
