Jensen Huang Resigns as Nvidia CEO After Affair Reports

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia, effective immediately, following reports of extramarital affairs, including one with a woman U.S. intelligence suspects of being a Chinese spy. CFO Colette Kress has been named interim CEO. The resignation follows a week of scrutiny, including an affair with an Nvidia executive who reported directly to him. Huang apologized to employees for being "unfaithful to my wife," while the company investigates potential foreign intelligence targeting. Nvidia is considering internal and external candidates for a permanent successor. The scandal marks a turbulent chapter for Nvidia, a leading AI chipmaker, with shares down about 5% midday Thursday. President Trump suggested Tim Cook as a replacement, drawing criticism. Analysts say the exit tests both Nvidia's stability and the broader AI boom's resilience.
