Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns After Affairs; CFO Colette Kress Takes Over
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned with immediate effect following an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, with CFO Colette Kress temporarily assuming his duties. Huang admitted over the weekend to cheating on his wife, after media reports linked him to a woman suspected by US security circles of being recruited by Chinese intelligence. Midweek, reports emerged of a second affair with a senior Nvidia manager, prompting the board's decisive action. Nvidia, one of the world's most valuable companies, dominates AI chip production, and Huang was its public face. His departure could impact AI startups funded by Nvidia, and he had recently built close ties with President Donald Trump while clashing with the US government over China chip export restrictions.
