Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns over affair with suspected Chinese spy

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday after his extramarital affair with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of spying for Beijing raised U.S. national security concerns. The company named Colette Kress as interim CEO. Kress, previously Nvidia's executive vice president and CFO, said she is committed to building on the foundation Huang created over 33 years. The board acted after reports of Huang's affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed International executive, and a second affair with an Nvidia employee. Nvidia shares fell sharply, dropping 14% Thursday, dragging broader markets lower. Lawmakers still expect a briefing from Huang, and Singapore said it barred Alice Huang from returning after investigating Megaspeed over suspected false declarations about server purchases.
