  "summary": "Jensen Huang has resigned as the CEO of Nvidia following reports of extramarital affairs. According to Fortune, Huang tendered his resignation to the board on Nov. 12, 2026, after acknowledging an affair with a Singapore-based executive, Alice Huang, who is suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence agencies. Fortune further reports that a second affair involving a company executive who reports to him was also part of the situation. CBS News stated the resignation occurred less than a week after the affair with the suspected spy became widely known.\n\nThe resignation has triggered a corporate crisis and impacted stock prices, with Nvidia shares falling over 3 percent and Arm shares dropping more than 5 percent, according to Dawn. Following Huang's departure, Nvidia's finance chief Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO. Dawn reports that Nvidia's board has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor, though there is no guarantee he will accept the position.\n\nIn Washington, a Republican senator has requested that Huang and the Commerce Secretary appear before U.S. lawmakers, citing concerns regarding national security and the protection of sensitive U.S. technology, according to The Korea Times. While Nvidia has stated it has no reason to believe company secrets were leaked, China’s Foreign Ministry has denied espionage allegations and accused the U.S. of fabricating spy narratives to justify technological blockades, as reported by Fortune.",
