Jensen Huang has resigned from his role as CEO and president of Nvidia. He will be replaced by interim CEO, Colette Kress, who had previously worked as the company's CFO for a long stretch.
"Nvidia Board of Directors announced today that Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately," a statement on Nvidia's newsroom says.
Jensen Huang has been embroiled in a scandal, or rather a couple of scandals, over the past few weeks.
First, an affair to which he later admitted; suggested to have been with a datacentre company executive suspected of working for Chinese intelligence.
Second, another alleged affair, this time with an executive at Nvidia.
The markets may get spooked by the announcement, as Huang was a co-founder of the business (founded in 1993, making Huang the longest CEO of a major tech firm) and has overseen the company through its latest and largest success.
The share price for the company had already plummeted to its lowest levels since June 2025 following a report that the company's board was considering ousting Huang.
