NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang steps down as investigations into alleged intelligence ties continue.

Yesterday, NVIDIA announced that Jensen Huang, the company's co‑founder and chief executive officer, had resigned after reports surfaced of alleged extramarital affairs, including one with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of links to Chinese intelligence.

Huang denied any knowledge of intelligence connections, and the company said it has no reason to believe its proprietary information was compromised.

Interim leadership

Chief financial officer Colette Kress has been appointed interim CEO while the board conducts a search for a permanent replacement.

The revelations have triggered investigations by U.S. authorities and caused volatility in NVIDIA’s stock, but the company has not disclosed further details about the probe.

NVIDIA said it will continue to focus on its AI and graphics businesses as it navigates the leadership transition.
