Jensen Huang, cofounder and CEO of Nvidia, resigned Thursday amid revelations of an affair with a woman suspected by US intelligence of spying for China. The chip giant's stock fell over 13%, erasing $1,000 billion in market capitalization. The board announced his immediate departure, thanking Huang for his "invaluable contribution." CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO. Huang is also accused of another affair with a senior company executive. An independent investigation was launched Sunday. Huang, 63, cofounded Nvidia in 1993 and was an informal AI advisor to President Donald Trump. The company stated it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised.
