Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after affair disclosures

nytimes.com [$] —

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, resigned Thursday after revelations of affairs with a company executive and a woman U.S. intelligence deemed a Chinese asset, raising national security concerns. The resignation follows disclosures of a "close personal relationship" with an Nvidia executive and another with a woman linked to Chinese intelligence. While national security risks are unusual, most CEO ousters stem from relationships violating company policies. Large firms typically ban romantic ties between managers and direct reports, with Nvidia's code of conduct citing "personal relationships" as potential conflicts. Experts note enforcement tightened after the Me Too era.
