Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns After Affair With Suspected Chinese Spy

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, resigned Thursday, November 12, after 33 years leading the company, following revelations of extramarital affairs, including one with a woman suspected of spying for China. The board accepted his immediate departure from all roles. Nvidia's chief financial officer, Colette Kress, will serve as interim CEO while the board seeks a permanent successor. Nvidia's stock plunged 13% at the New York Stock Exchange opening, reflecting investor shock over the sudden leadership change. Singapore confirmed its investigation into Megaspeed, the company linked to the alleged espionage scandal, was not initiated at another country's request. Alice Huang, the suspected spy, was barred from entering Singapore in February for providing inaccurate information during the probe.
