Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns Amid FBI Probe Into China Ties

japan.hani.co.kr (Japanese) —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned amid scandals and an FBI investigation into alleged ties to Chinese intelligence, causing shares to plunge over 10% in after-hours trading. The company named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO. Huang admitted to an affair with a former executive of Singapore data center firm Megaspeed, linked by US intelligence to China's MSS. The New York Times then reported another affair with a subordinate, and his security team allegedly pressured witnesses to sign NDAs. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993, led major decisions across technology, sales, and investment without a clear successor. Three Republican House committee chairs have demanded he testify privately by November 18, threatening subpoenas, potentially impacting US-China relations.
