Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after affair with alleged Chinese spy

firstpost.com —

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia following revelations of multiple extramarital affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese spy, ending his 33-year leadership of the $4 trillion company. Huang's demeanor reportedly deteriorated in his final weeks, with colleagues noting he used phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care," and called himself a "piece of sh**." He confessed to an affair after a board confrontation on November 6, and a second affair with Nvidia vice president Kimberly Powell was reported on November 11, prompting the board to demand his resignation. CFO Colette Kress has been named interim CEO. Huang is expected to testify before Congress about whether his relationship with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy, compromised Nvidia's chip technology. He has expressed that his main concern is his wife, Loris, and reportedly does not want to ruin the lives of the women connected to him.
