Nvidia’s board announced that Jensen Huang — its longtime co-founder, president, and CEO — has resigned after reports of two extramarital affairs, one with an alleged Chinese spy and one with an Nvidia executive who reported to Huang. Following a late Wednesday night meeting, the board accepted Huang’s letter of resignation as CEO, president, and board member, effective immediately, with current CFO Colette Kress appointed interim CEO. Kress has been with Nvidia since 2013, with previous stops at Cisco and Microsoft.
Nvidia is also changing its corporate structure in Huang’s absence, appointing former Synopsys CEO Harvey C. Jones as the first board chair in its history. The statement does not include a statement from Huang, while Kress is quoted as saying:
NVIDIA’s strength has always come from its people, and together with our leadership team, I am committed to building on the extraordinary foundation Jensen created over the last 33 years. We will continue advancing the work that has made NVIDIA a leader in accelerated computing and AI, and execute on the opportunities ahead. Our focus remains on serving our customers, partners, developers and shareholders.
