Nvidia chief Huang resigns after personal scandal

Nvidia said on Thursday that Jensen Huang has resigned as president, chief executive and director, effective immediately. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress is serving as interim chief executive while the board seeks a permanent successor. The departure followed reports of affairs, including one with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed director whom U.S. intelligence says China's top spy agency recruited. Huang admitted in a staff email that he had cheated on his wife. Nvidia shares fell sharply, and the company has lost about $1.8tn (€1.6tn) in market value since its record close on 6 Oct.
