Jensen Huang resigns from all roles at Nvidia, including CEO and board seat
Jensen Huang resigned from all formal roles at Nvidia, including president, chief executive officer, and board member, on Thursday. The board has initiated a search for a permanent CEO. Executive Vice President and CFO Colette Kress was appointed interim CEO to lead the company until a successor is named. The resignation followed reports of Huang's extramarital affairs, including a relationship with alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang, who was reportedly under US intelligence surveillance. Nvidia was founded in 1993 by Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem at a Denny's restaurant. The company later became central to generative AI development, with Huang becoming a leading technology industry figure.
