Nvidia employees defend Jensen Huang after resignation over affairs

Nvidia employees are publicly praising former CEO Jensen Huang following his resignation amid revelations of multiple extramarital affairs, highlighting his leadership and personal kindness. Huang stepped down as president, CEO, and board member, with CFO Colette Kress appointed as interim chief executive. Longtime employee Vartika Singh shared an emotional account on X, describing how Huang supported struggling researchers and startups, and helped her family during her sister's brain cancer battle. Another researcher, Gavan Woolery, credited Huang with personally approving his hiring during a pandemic freeze, calling his removal "financial suicide." Huang resigned Thursday after 33 years, following reports of affairs with a Chinese businesswoman linked to Chinese intelligence and Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. The board is now searching for a permanent successor.
