Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO amid affair scandal involving 'Chinese spy'

Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO amid affair scandal involving 'Chinese spy'

What's behind this

Nvidia co‑founder Jensen Huang resigned as president, chief executive officer and board member on Thursday, with the resignation taking effect immediately. The move follows reports that Huang, 63 and married, had an extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, a woman U.S. intelligence agencies suspect of working for China’s Ministry of State Security, raising national‑security concerns. The company’s board named chief financial officer Colette Kress, currently executive vice‑president, as interim CEO while it searches for a permanent successor. Huang’s departure ends a 33‑year tenure and comes amid a lack of a clear succession plan, a blow to the AI boom.
