Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang started working with Heller, a crisis communications firm, in October 2025. The firm is known for managing scandals involving powerful men, such as former congressman Anthony Weiner. Sources say Heller handles both Huang’s personal and corporate communications, including contacts with his daughter Madison, a product‑marketing director at Nvidia. The hiring came before Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with a woman alleged by U.S. intelligence to be a Chinese spy.

## The facts

- Heller was hired in October 2025 – “since at least October 2025, according to two sources”.
- Heller’s founder Risa Heller has previously represented Anthony Weiner, Mario Batali and Jeffrey Toobin.

## Why it matters

The move signals Nvidia is trying to control the narrative around the CEO’s personal scandal, which could affect the company’s reputation and investor confidence.
