Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns amid affair and spy allegations
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday amid reports of extramarital affairs, including one with a woman US intelligence suspects of being a Chinese spy, prompting an immediate leadership change at the AI chipmaker. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress was named interim CEO, while the board searches for a permanent successor. Huang apologized to employees for being "unfaithful to my wife" after reports surfaced of relationships with a businesswoman and an Nvidia executive who reported to him. The FBI is investigating the alleged affair with Alice Huang, whom Beijing denies is a spy. President Trump praised Huang's work and suggested Tim Cook as his replacement, while Nvidia shares fell about 5 percent amid uncertainty over the company's future.
