Jensen Huang Steps Down as Nvidia CEO After Personal Scandal

dw.com (Russian) —

Jensen Huang has resigned from all positions at Nvidia, including president, CEO, and board member, following a scandal over his personal life. The company announced his departure on Thursday, November 12, with CFO Colette Kress temporarily assuming leadership duties. Huang, who founded Nvidia in 1993 and led it for over three decades, stepped down after admitting to infidelity with his wife of more than 40 years. The controversy intensified after media reports alleged relationships with a Chinese woman suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence and a Nvidia vice president. The 63-year-old is a prominent figure in the AI boom, with Nvidia as a leading supplier of chips for artificial intelligence systems. He had close ties with President Donald Trump and recently announced AI infrastructure cooperation with the German government.
