UNITED STATES – NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned from his top post at the chipmaker he co-founded, after reports of the tech titan’s extramarital affairs came into the spotlight this week.
One of those relationships has raised national security concerns, as it was reported that Huang had an affair with a businesswoman U.S. intelligence suspects to be a Chinese spy, which Beijing denies.
Huang was also said to have had another affair with an NVIDIA executive who reported to him directly, compounding calls for him to step down.
Colette Kress, NVIDIA’s Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President since 2013, will step into the role of interim CEO.
