Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia this morning, a company he co-founded in 1993. The decision came following the company’s board opening an investigation into multiple extramarital affairs Huang had with a direct report and an alleged Chinese spy. The new, and first, Chair of the Board, Harvey Jones, shared news of Huang’s resignation with the company in an email, which also announced CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO.
You can read the full text of the board’s internal memo and Kress’s first message to employees as interim CEO below.
I am writing to share an important update. Jensen has resigned as CEO and Board Member, and the Board has asked our Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress to serve as interim CEO while it conducts a search for a permanent successor looking at both internal and external candidates. I will serve as the first-ever Chair of the Board.
