Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hired crisis-communications firm Heller Inc. amid personal scandal reports
Jensen Huang engaged Heller Inc., a firm known for handling high-profile personal scandals, shortly after a New York Times report linked him to a Singapore-based data-center executive.
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang retained Heller Inc., a crisis-communications agency that has represented clients involved in personal scandals, according to reporting by Wired. The firm, founded by Risa Heller, has previously advised individuals such as former congressman Anthony Weiner, chef Mario Batali and writer Jeffrey Toobin, as noted in a 2023 profile in New York Magazine.
Wired said Nvidia’s internal communications team was instructed to copy Heller Inc. on press inquiries concerning Huang after an October 2025 New York Times article examined whether Nvidia was facilitating Chinese companies’ evasion of U.S. chip export controls. The Times article described a deal in which Singapore-based data-center company Megaspeed purchased nearly $2 billion of Nvidia chips and noted that Megaspeed chief executive Alice Huang was seen beside Jensen Huang at a Taipei event for Nvidia customers.
Both Heller Inc. and Nvidia declined to comment on the matter.
