Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after tech giant rocked by second affair allegation
Jensen Huang has resigned as chief executive of Nvidia, the artificial intelligence chipmaker he co-founded, following reports of two extramarital relationships, including one involving a woman suspected by US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese intelligence. Nvidia’s board of directors announced on Thursday, November 12, that Huang’s departure as CEO and board member would take immediate effect. His resignation follows an investigation launched by the company after reports that he had an intimate relationship with a woman identified in media reports as Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed International. US intelligence officials reportedly suspected Alice Huang of working for Chinese intelligence, raising concerns about whether the relationship could have exposed sensitive company or national security information.
