Nvidia CEO Huang resigns over affair with alleged Chinese spy; third relationship revealed
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday over an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, with reports now revealing a third extramarital relationship with another employee. The scandal has triggered a company investigation and raised national security concerns in Washington. Insiders told Reuters Huang had a second intimate relationship with an employee, marking his third known affair. He admitted to a romantic relationship with a woman U.S. authorities suspect of being a Beijing agent, and is also accused of a relationship with a female Nvidia manager. The company declined to comment. The espionage allegations have reached the White House, with officials reportedly considering replacing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over export control concerns. Both Lutnick and Huang have been summoned to a Senate hearing in December. CFO Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO, with her stock holdings valued at approximately $800 million.
