Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns amid probe; Tim Cook floated as successor

ilmessaggero.it (Italian) —

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia amid a congressional and FBI investigation into his ties to the Trump administration and a relationship with a businesswoman suspected of working for Beijing. He will testify before Congress before November 26. Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive whose company sourced Nvidia chips via Indonesia; US intelligence suspected she was recruited by China. Two additional relationships with Nvidia employees also emerged, and the company's stock fell over 10% before recovering. CFO Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO. Trump has proposed Tim Cook, former Apple CEO, as Huang's successor, calling it "a legend for a legend," though the board will decide. The FBI is investigating whether restricted chips reached China through third countries, while Nvidia has launched an independent internal review.
