  "account": "Jensen Huang stepped down as CEO of Nvidia on Thursday, citing two extramarital affairs. Rumors suggest one was with a woman suspected to be of Chinese espionage background. The New York Times reported on a second alleged affair with an employee on Wednesday. Huang is considered a key figure in Nvidia's global AI boom. However, there was no official plan for succession, as Huang was viewed as indispensable. Colette Kress, Nvidia's current CFO and finance chief, assumed interim CEO duties. It remains unclear whether she will take the position permanently. Nvidia announced it is internally and externally searching for a permanent CEO. Kress, who has been with Nvidia for 13 years, serves as Executive Vice President. She assists Huang with quarterly earnings reports and is seen as a familiar voice on Wall Street.",
  "summary": "Der Nvidia-Chef tritt zurück. Seine Aufgaben übernimmt vorübergehend Finanzchefin Colette Kress. Als technische Visionärin gilt sie nicht – langfristig gibt es weitere CEO-Kandidaten.",
