Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns over extramarital affairs
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned with immediate effect following reports of two extramarital affairs, one linked to an alleged Chinese spy. The company announced CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO. The resignation follows New York Times reports that Huang had an affair with businesswoman Alice Huang, accused of being a Chinese spy, and new allegations of a relationship with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. The board was reportedly preparing to remove him. Alice Huang allegedly worked to supply Chinese companies with Nvidia chips, which have been under export restrictions since 2022. Huang confirmed the affair with Alice Huang in an email to employees, while China has denied the espionage allegations.
