Huang Renxun hired the crisis public relations firm Heller as early as October 2025.
Wired reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hired crisis management firm Heller as early as October 2025, more than a year before his public admission of an extramarital affair on November 8. Heller founder Risa Heller is known for handling celebrity sex scandals and public relations crises. According to sources, Heller was initially thought to be in charge of handling Jensen Huang's personal affairs and family philanthropic activities, and the team frequently communicated with Huang and his daughter, Madison Huang, Nvidia's product marketing director. On October 9, 2025, The New York Times reported on Nvidia's business dealings with Singaporean data center company Megaspeed and the relationship between Jensen Huang and executive Heller. At the end of that month, Nvidia's internal public relations team received instructions that Heller should be involved when the media interviewed Jensen Huang. Following Jensen Huang's public admission of infidelity, Nvidia's board of directors launched an independent investigation. Wired has not yet confirmed whether Heller was initially hired to handle the affair; neither Heller nor Nvidia responded to requests for comment. (Source: WIRED)
