Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO amid reports of affairs and scrutiny over possible national security risks.
Nvidia said Huang’s resignation took effect immediately, and several outlets reported that CFO Colette Kress would serve as interim CEO while the board considers a permanent successor. Reports linked the departure to allegations of extramarital relationships, including one involving a person suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence; those allegations and their security implications have not been established as fact.
