Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after board probe into affairs and foreign intelligence links

Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia Corp.'s CEO late Wednesday after a board investigation revealed extramarital affairs and alleged foreign intelligence links, ending his tenure at the AI chip powerhouse he built into a multitrillion-dollar company. The board acted after Huang confessed to a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected of being a spy, and after reports of an affair with Nvidia vice president Kimberly Powell. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress has been named interim CEO. The Justice Department has not concluded whether Alice Huang was a Chinese spy, though the FBI is investigating. Huang is expected to testify before Congress, and Nvidia faces the challenge of finding a successor to replace his multifaceted leadership role.
