Megaspeed opens internal probe after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's exit
The Singapore cloud firm says former executive Alice Huang left in August 2025 and denies media reports about its supply chain.
SINGAPORE — Megaspeed said Sunday that former executive Alice Huang left the company in August 2025 and that it has launched an internal investigation, deepening the fallout from the resignation of Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang.
The Singapore-based cloud computing company told CNBC that Alice Huang "officially left Megaspeed effective August 30, 2025 and currently has no role with the Company," adding that it does not comment on her personal and private matters. It said it has retained external legal counsel to conduct a "thorough internal investigation" into media reports concerning its business, supply chain and global operations, which it said are "not supported by verifiable evidence."
Scrutiny over chips and China
Megaspeed has faced scrutiny over whether chips supplied through its business were redirected to customers in China. It describes itself as a "core business partner" of Nvidia's computing power cloud business in the region, allowing customers to rent Nvidia graphics processing units, the specialized chips that underpin AI workloads. The company has offices in Singapore and Indonesia.
"Megaspeed designs and maintains its global operational and supply-chain control frameworks to comply with all applicable laws and regulatory regimes, including United States export control requirements and local jurisdiction rules in every market where we operate," the company said.
U.S. intelligence officials believe Alice Huang is a Chinese intelligence asset, according to The New York Times.
Nvidia leadership change
The disclosures follow the abrupt departure of Jensen Huang, who resigned as Nvidia's president and CEO on Nov. 12, the company announced. Nvidia said Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress was appointed interim CEO and that board chair Harvey Jones became the company's first-ever chair of the board.
"The Board has full confidence in Colette and the leadership team, and we expect the company's operations, customer commitments and product roadmap to continue without interruption," Jones said in the announcement. Nvidia said it will search for a permanent CEO and will consider both internal and external candidates.
Huang co-founded Nvidia 33 years ago and built it into a roughly $4 trillion company that powered the artificial intelligence boom. He apologized on Nov. 8 for being "unfaithful to my wife." The 63-year-old executive did not provide details about the relationship with Alice Huang, a businesswoman who has worked for Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer.
Megaspeed said it will review the reporting and communicate further with stakeholders as its investigation proceeds.
