Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO amid reports of alleged affairs and national security concerns.
Nvidia said Huang’s resignation took effect immediately, and several outlets reported that CFO Colette Kress became interim CEO while the board looks for a permanent successor. Reports linked the departure to alleged relationships, including one involving a person suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence; those allegations have not been established, and China has denied some of them.
