Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after affair allegations
Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO on Thursday following allegations of extramarital affairs, including with a suspected Chinese spy, ending his tenure at the multitrillion-dollar AI chip company he founded. The board acted after Huang confessed to an affair with Alice Huang and following reports of a relationship with vice-president Kimberly Powell. Chief financial officer Colette Kress has been named interim CEO, with an all-hands meeting scheduled for Nov 18. Huang, who denied wrongdoing as recently as early November, will testify before Congress about potential national security risks. The board now faces finding a permanent replacement, with AMD CEO Lisa Su and Arm CEO Rene Haas considered potential candidates.
