Jensen Huang Resigns as Nvidia CEO After Affairs Report

Today, 19:07 419 0

Nvidia said Jensen Huang has resigned as president, chief executive officer and a member of its board, effective immediately. The announcement followed a New York Times report alleging multiple affairs, including relationships with an Nvidia executive and a woman described as an alleged Chinese spy.

In a memo to Nvidia employees, Huang acknowledged an affair and apologized to his family. “I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” he wrote.

The report identified the women as Alice Huang, described as an alleged Chinese spy, and Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. Yahoo! Finance reported that Huang was believed to have worked with a network of Chinese companies that secured $7.5 billion worth of chip sales to China.

Nvidia Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will serve as interim chief executive, according to the board’s announcement. Nvidia shares fell 10% after Huang’s departure was announced.
