Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reportedly engaged Heller Inc., a crisis communications firm known for handling high-profile personal and sexual misconduct scandals, at least one year before publicly acknowledging an extramarital affair with Alice Huang. Alice Huang is an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company that has been linked to potential Chinese intelligence efforts and the acquisition of nearly $2 billion in Nvidia chips. The engagement of Heller Inc. reportedly began shortly after an October 2025 news report scrutinized Megaspeed's business dealings and its ties to Nvidia. Concerns have been raised regarding potential national security risks and whether foreign adversaries could gain influence over U.S. AI infrastructure through this relationship.
