Megaspeed Says Alice Huang Left Firm in August 2025

SINGAPORE- Megaspeed has said Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang officially left the Singapore-based cloud-computing company on August 30, 2025, and no longer holds any role there.

The statement is the company’s clearest public response yet on Huang’s employment status amid scrutiny of her reported ties to former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and wider questions about the company’s operations and export-control compliance.

“Megaspeed does not comment on Ms. Huang’s personal and private matters,” the company said.

Megaspeed also rejected recent media assertions about its business, supply chain and global operations, saying they were not supported by verifiable evidence. 

It said it conducts “legitimate and lawful business” and has retained external legal counsel to conduct an internal investigation. 

What the statement changes

Megaspeed’s confirmation means Alice was no longer formally employed by the company when the recent reports involving former NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang emerged.

However, the company did not explain the circumstances of her August 2025 departure, whether she retained any informal connections to the business after leaving, or whether her exit was related to any regulatory review.

The statement also does not resolve the broader questions facing the company, which has been under scrutiny over allegations that advanced NVIDIA chips could have reached Chinese users through Southeast Asian supply chains.

Megaspeed has said it takes United States export-control obligations seriously and has cooperated with U.S. inspections. 

The company has also said it is conducting an external legal review of its GPU holdings and compliance practices. 

Link to NVIDIA leadership upheaval

The development comes days after NVIDIA announced the immediate resignation of its co-founder Jensen Huang as president, CEO and a board member.

NVIDIA named Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO and appointed director Harvey C. Jones as chair of the board while it searches for a permanent replacement. 

The company’s announcement did not state why Huang resigned.

Before his departure, NVIDIA’s board said it had opened an independent investigation after reports that Huang had been the target of a foreign intelligence effort. 

The board said it had no reason to believe that national security or NVIDIA secrets had been compromised, but said outside counsel and independent directors would review the available information. 

Huang had also publicly apologised to his family, colleagues and shareholders, acknowledging that he had been unfaithful to his wife. He said he would cooperate with the board’s inquiry. 

What remains unproven

Alice Huang has been the subject of media reports linking her to potential Chinese intelligence activity, a claim Beijing has rejected.

Reuters has reported that U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department had not reached a conclusion on whether she was a Chinese spy.

Reuters also reported that Singapore’s inquiries involving Huang did not concern espionage. 

Singapore authorities have separately been investigating Megaspeed and other companies over possible false declarations linked to server purchases and related offences, according to Reuters. 

The investigations remain ongoing, and no finding has been made that Megaspeed or Huang broke U.S. export-control laws.
