Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang summoned to testify before Congress about affair with alleged Chinese spy
Huang abruptly quit on Thursday as head of one of the world's most valuable companies after revelations of alleged extramarital affairs.
Jensen Huang, co-founder of Nvidia, has reportedly struggled with his own personal issues following his departure from the company, according to Bloomberg. The former CEO has been deeply troubled by the scandal surrounding his public relationships, with his concerns now focusing on "ruining the lives" of the women linked to him.
Huang has described himself as a "piece of sh--" in private, expressing deep regret over his actions. His private reflections came after a November 8 message to employees, in which he admitted to being unfaithful and apologized for hurting his family. The company followed suit, announcing Huang's resignation as president, CEO, and director on November 11, with Colette Kress taking over as interim CEO.
The company's board initiated an independent investigation into allegations of a foreign intelligence effort, but stressed that they have found no evidence of compromised national security or company secrets. Despite the controversy, Kress expressed her gratitude for the employees' continued dedication and reaffirmed her belief in the company's future.
