Dear NVIDIA colleagues,
I would like to apologize to my family and everyone.
I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. We are very sorry.
Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we had built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.
To my wife and family: I love you. I know that an apology cannot undo what I did. I hope our family can recover and regain trust over time.
To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those with whom I have worked for decades, and to our Board of Directors, partners, and shareholders around the world: You deserve more recognition from me. Leading NVIDIA has been the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I haven’t fulfilled that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work hard to earn back your trust.
NVIDIA’s Board of Directors has launched an independent investigation regarding the national security concerns raised in the report. I support the investigation and intend to cooperate fully. I love our country and company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.
My family is not responsible for my choices. i will do it. Give them privacy.
— Jensen
Nvidia Board of Directors Statement:
NVIDIA’s Board of Directors is launching an independent investigation into founder and CEO Jensen Huang following recent reports that he is the target of foreign intelligence operations.
A committee of independent directors supported by independent outside counsel will oversee the investigation.
The Board of Directors prioritizes the national and economic security of the United States, which is in the best interest of NVIDIA and its stockholders.
Although the Board has no reason to believe that national security or NVIDIA’s confidentiality has been compromised, the Board’s investigation will examine all available information.
Jensen fully supported this review and pledged to cooperate.
The Board has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team and will provide further updates as needed.
