Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO with immediate effect amid a controversy surrounding his personal relationships. Three alleged extramarital relationships involving Huang, including two linked to Nvidia employees, came to light around the time of his resignation.
New York: Jensen Huang has resigned as chief executive officer of Nvidia with immediate effect amid a controversy involving an individual suspected of espionage, the AI technology giant’s board of directors announced on Thursday.
The resignation followed scrutiny of Huang’s alleged personal relationship with a woman suspected by US intelligence officials of working for China. US President Donald Trump said earlier this week that the FBI was examining both personal and commercial connections between the Nvidia chief and the suspected Chinese operative, identified as Alice Huang.
Sources confirmed that Nvidia’s board had been preparing to remove Huang from his position. Huang’s departure also came after The New York Times reported on Wednesday that five Nvidia employees had alleged a romantic relationship between him and Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice-president of healthcare, who reportedly worked under him.
A third alleged extramarital relationship involving Jensen Huang emerged on Friday, with Reuters reporting that another Nvidia employee was linked to the company’s former chief executive. However, the news agency did not disclose the identity of the employee involved. The latest disclosure surfaced only hours after Huang’s departure from the top post at the AI chipmaker. Nvidia’s Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will assume charge of the company’s day-to-day affairs in the interim capacity of CEO following Huang’s resignation.
