## Summary

Wired reported that Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang engaged crisis communications firm Heller Inc. at least a year before publicly acknowledging an extramarital affair with a former Megaspeed executive. The timing has drawn attention because the firm has handled high-profile personal scandals, while Nvidia’s board says Huang may have been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.

Heller Inc. founder Risa Heller has advised figures including Anthony Weiner, Mario Batali and Jeffrey Toobin, according to a 2023 profile. Wired said Nvidia’s communications team was asked to copy the firm on press enquiries about Huang after an October 2025 report raised questions about Nvidia chips reaching Chinese companies through Singapore-based data centre firm Megaspeed, which had acquired nearly $2 billion in chips. Huang acknowledged the affair on Sunday without naming the woman, and Nvidia announced an independent investigation; Heller and Nvidia had not immediately commented.
