Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy, prompting his company's board to open an investigation into the relationship.
Huang sent an email to employees on Sunday apologizing for being unfaithful to his wife and for hurting her and their children, and he extended his apologies to his colleagues, the board, and shareholders.
"My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility," he wrote, pledging to work to earn back the company's confidence.
Huang said he would cooperate with the board's investigation and stressed his commitment to protecting Nvidia and America's national security, adding that he is proud and grateful to be an American.
China has denied that the woman is a spy.
