After Jensen Huang’s exit, Megaspeed breaks silence on Alice Huang

SINGAPORE: Singapore-based cloud-computing company Megaspeed said on Sunday that Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, whose reported relationship with former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has triggered US national security concerns, officially left the company on August 30, 2025, and no longer holds a role there.

The announcement comes as Megaspeed faces renewed scrutiny over its business dealings with Chinese customers and allegations that it may have helped them obtain Nvidia artificial intelligence chips restricted under US export controls.

Megaspeed, an Nvidia business partner in the Asia-Pacific region, said it did not comment on Huang’s personal affairs.

The company, however, rejected media reports containing allegations about its business, supply chain and international operations, saying they were not supported by verifiable evidence.

“Megaspeed does not comment on Ms Huang’s personal and private matters,” the company said in a statement.

It added that it conducted “legitimate and lawful business” and had engaged external legal counsel to carry out a thorough internal investigation.

The company said its operations and supply chain controls were designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including US export-control requirements.

Alice Huang’s departure from the company does not, however, settle questions about her ownership interests.

According to Washington-based research organisation C4ADS, which examined corporate records, she became Megaspeed’s controlling shareholder in March 2023. The company’s latest statement did not clarify whether she retained any ownership stake after leaving her executive position.

US investigation into Nvidia chip supplies

Megaspeed came under scrutiny after The New York Times reported in October 2025 that US authorities were investigating whether the company had helped Chinese customers obtain Nvidia chips subject to Washington’s export restrictions.

The allegations raised concerns about possible efforts to circumvent US restrictions on China’s access to advanced artificial intelligence technology.

China has denied the allegations, while Megaspeed has not been found to have violated US export-control rules.

The controversy has also drawn attention to the company’s relationship with Nvidia, whose high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) are essential to developing and operating advanced artificial intelligence systems.

Megaspeed operates in the cloud-computing sector, providing access to computing infrastructure powered by Nvidia chips.

The US government and Nvidia did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Megaspeed’s latest statement, Reuters reported.

Jensen Huang’s resignation intensifies scrutiny

The developments come days after Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia’s chief executive following revelations about his personal relationships, including a reported affair with Alice Huang.

US intelligence officials reportedly suspect Alice Huang of having links to Chinese intelligence, an allegation that has not been independently established publicly. The reports have raised questions about whether sensitive corporate information or US technology interests could have been exposed.

Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and led its transformation into one of the world’s most valuable technology companies, stepped down on November 12 after the controversy escalated.

Nvidia’s board appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim chief executive while it searches for a permanent successor. The board also appointed Harvey C. Jones as its chairman.

The controversy intensified after reports of additional extramarital relationships involving Nvidia employees emerged. Reuters reported that Huang had an intimate relationship with another Nvidia employee, citing two people familiar with the matter.

Nvidia has launched an independent investigation, with external legal counsel, into whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.

Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a November 8 statement but did not identify the individuals involved.

His departure has sent shockwaves through the technology industry and intensified scrutiny in Washington over the risks surrounding the transfer of advanced American artificial intelligence chips to China.

The controversy has also renewed debate over US export-control policies and the potential national security implications of Nvidia’s business relationships in the Asia-Pacific region.
