Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled several of the company’s leaders, including general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld, about the nature of his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, with whom he had an affair, according to two people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters.
\n\nReuters reviewed several exchanges from October on condition of not quoting verbatim from the messages. The news agency is the first to report on this correspondence.
