Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after affair with suspected spy
Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's CEO, president, and board member on Nov. 12, ending his 33-year leadership, with CFO Colette Kress named interim CEO while a successor is sought. The resignation followed his Nov. 8 admission of an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive suspected by US intelligence of being a Chinese spy. Reports detail public displays of affection during a May 2025 Taiwan dinner with his daughter Madison present. Huang, married to Lori since 1985, has agreed to cooperate with congressional inquiries into the affair and national security concerns. Nvidia is investigating whether he was targeted by foreign intelligence, and his estimated $143 billion fortune remains intact.
