Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang retained the high-profile crisis communications firm Heller at least a year before publicly acknowledging an extramarital relationship with an executive reportedly linked to Chinese intelligence.
According to a report by WIRED, Huang began working with Heller in October 2025—more than 12 months before he disclosed that he had been unfaithful to his wife of more than four decades with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang.
Two sources told the outlet that Heller has managed Huang’s communications behind the scenes since the firm was hired.
Founded by Risa Heller, the crisis PR agency is known for advising clients caught up in major personal scandals and sexual misconduct controversies. Its past clients have included former congressman Anthony Weiner and celebrity chef Mario Batali.
WIRED reported that Heller was initially engaged to advise Huang on matters involving his personal life, including charitable projects connected to his family.

Sources said the firm maintained regular contact with Huang and his daughter, Madison, a product marketing director at Nvidia whose influence within the company has expanded. It remains unclear whether the agency’s original assignment included the CEO’s alleged affair.
The Post has reached out to Heller for comment.
Following Huang’s admission, Nvidia—now valued at roughly $4.5 trillion—opened an investigation into whether its CEO had been “target of a foreign intelligence effort.” The company also said it continued to have confidence in his leadership.
Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based technology company Megaspeed, which purchased billions of dollars’ worth of Nvidia AI chips, was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security, the country’s intelligence agency, according to a confidential US State Department memo obtained by The New York Times. The assessment was reportedly based on electronic surveillance.
