Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO amid Alice Huang controversy

What's behind this

Jensen Huang has stepped down as Nvidia’s chief executive, ending a tenure in which he was the company’s sole CEO. The board has appointed Colette Kress as interim CEO. The resignation comes amid a controversy described as an affair or ‘spy’ scandal involving an alleged Chinese agent, prompting an FBI investigation and a crisis that the company had no clear succession plan for the 63‑year‑old leader. The scandal has also tarnished Huang’s reputation in his birthplace of Taiwan.
