Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns After Spy Allegations and Affairs

faz.net (German) —

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia following revelations of extramarital affairs and allegations linking him to a Chinese spy, ending his tenure atop the world's most valuable company. The 63-year-old's departure was announced after an emergency board meeting. Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a top manager at an Asian Nvidia client whom US intelligence believes is a Chinese spy. Subsequent reports revealed additional affairs with Nvidia employees, prompting the board to accept his immediate resignation. CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and transformed it from a gaming graphics card maker into the dominant supplier of AI chips. He cultivated close ties with both President Trump and Chinese leaders, making his fall particularly significant given ongoing US-China technology tensions.
