What we know after Jensen Huang's resignation as Nvidia's CEO
Nvidia announced Huang's resignation on Thursday, effective immediately. The California-based company said that Colette Kress — who has been Nvidia's chief financial officer and executive vice president since 2013 — will step into the role of interim CEO.
Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has resigned from his position at the company he co-founded, following reports of his extramarital affairs. These affairs have raised concerns over national security, with one affair involving a businesswoman that U.S. intelligence suspects to be a Chinese spy. The New York Times reported the affair, and other outlets have since confirmed it.
Huang also reportedly had an affair with an executive who worked directly under him, further fueling calls for his resignation. On Thursday, Nvidia announced Huang's resignation, effective immediately, with Colette Kress, the company's CFO and Executive Vice President, taking over as interim CEO. Kress, who joined Nvidia 13 years ago, praised Huang's leadership, stating that it was his people and vision that had driven the company's success over the past 33 years.
