New York, November 12, 2026 – Jensen Huang, who led Nvidia for more than three decades, has resigned as chief executive after his affair with an alleged Chinese spy raised national security concerns.
The world’s leading maker of AI chips said on Thursday that Colette Kress, its executive vice president and chief financial officer, would take over as interim CEO.
Huang, 63, had faced growing calls to step down. On Wednesday night, reports said he’d also had an affair with an Nvidia employee who reported directly to him.
Shares in Nvidia, one of the largest companies in the world, fell 10% in premarket trading.
