g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned amid a crisis involving alleged extramarital affairs and suspected Chinese espionage, causing over $1 trillion in market losses. CFO Colette Kress has assumed the CEO role temporarily. The crisis began with US investigations into Alice Huang, a Chinese executive suspected of passing Nvidia information to Beijing. Huang admitted to an affair, triggering an FBI probe, shareholder lawsuits, and reports of additional relationships with Nvidia executives. Huang has been summoned to testify before a Senate committee in December. The board is considering successors, including Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas, though no formal offers have been made.
