Alice Huang was introduced to Nvidia's former CEO Jensen Huang, allegedly by her husband, Kang Wei. Who is he?

Disgraced Nvidia founder Jensen Huang has recently been in the news for having two extramarital affairs – with Singapore-based entrepreneur Alice Huang, who is alleged to be a spy for Beijing by US intelligence, and Kimberley Powell, the VP of the company. He has stepped down as CEO of Nvidia following the scandal. Since his affair with Alice came to the limelight, details about her private life also started making the rounds on the Internet. As per a Wall Street Journal report, Alice was introduced to Jensen by none other than her husband, Kang Wei.

According to the report, Kang seemingly accepted the romance between his wife and the former Nvidia CEO and often told colleagues jokingly that she had become a personal assistant to Jensen Huang.

As per the report, Kang and Huang went from one lucrative opportunity to the next – video game companies, pharmaceutical takeovers, and cloud computing, each time developing networks, creating a medley of identities, and transferring stakes.

Who Is Kang Wei?

As per a Caixin report, Kang is the founder and controller of Shanghai Hexi Investment Management Co., Ltd, a private equity firm. He was put under police investigation for criminal coercion activities.

Kang has also faced scrutiny for allegedly manipulating stock. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has also penalised him over related violations.

Alice Huang hails from Hunan province in China. She has a degree in media studies from Hong Kong Baptist University. She started her career as a journalist with CCTV, China’s state-owned broadcaster. She later moved to HSBC and Citic Securities, where she worked as a credit trader.
