Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang ousted after reports of affairs; CFO Colette Kress named interim CEO

Nvidia’s board has removed co‑founder and CEO Jensen Huang after reports he had two extramarital affairs — one allegedly with a Megaspeed executive who is accused of spying for China and another with an Nvidia executive — and a press release says Huang resigned effective immediately. CFO Colette Kress has been appointed interim CEO; Nvidia is a central supplier of AI chips and the change raises questions about company leadership, partnerships, and potential national-security implications around chip exports to China.

Nvidia opens independent investigation into Jensen Huang’s ties to Megaspeed executive

Nvidia’s board said it has launched an independent investigation after reporting that CEO Jensen Huang had a close relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at customer Megaspeed who The New York Times reported was allegedly recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security. The board said a committee of independent directors with outside counsel will oversee the review, that Jensen supports and will cooperate with it, and that it has no current reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised.
