Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang appeared Monday at the company’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California, and continued to lead the firm’s morning executive meeting. According to people familiar with the matter, Huang opened the meeting by addressing his acknowledged extramarital affair and offered an apology to employees, but he did not respond to further questions before shifting the discussion to company operations and the day’s agenda.

On Tuesday, Huang remained in the office scheduling meetings with just one week remaining before Nvidia’s next quarterly earnings release. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter. People familiar with the situation said Huang has been trying to project that business operations remain on track while the investigation continues.

Huang had earlier sent an email to employees on Sunday disclosing that he had engaged in an extramarital affair, without identifying the other person involved. In the email, he said that an apology could not erase what had already happened, expressing hope that his family could gradually heal and that he could regain trust in the future.

Nvidia’s board of directors has opened an investigation into the matter and retained the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz on Tuesday to assist with the review. Reactions inside the company were mixed, with some employees expressing shock and others reassessing the executive long seen as central to Nvidia’s identity.

Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993, and the company’s early business focused on graphics processors. In recent years, Nvidia has become a key infrastructure supplier for large-model training and data-center construction as demand for artificial-intelligence computing has surged. Huang has also become one of the most prominent figures in the global AI industry, wielding influence in Washington policy discussions.

With the earnings report approaching, markets are watching not only Nvidia’s results and shifts in AI demand but also whether the personal controversy could affect the company’s governance, external communications and expectations surrounding its business tied to China and the United States.
