Nvidia's Jensen Huang resigned from his positions as president, chief executive officer and board member of the company with immediate effect on Thursday. It was announced that Nvidia's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Colette Kress, has been appointed interim CEO. She will lead the company until a permanent successor is named. She will also continue to hold the CFO position. Earlier, Jensen Huang had claimed that he was unfaithful to his wife. He reportedly had a close relationship with alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang. It was reported that Alice had been under surveillance by US intelligence agencies. According to reports, US intelligence assessments concluded that Alice had been recruited by China's Ministry of State Security (MSS). She was allegedly given the role of developing a close relationship with Jensen, and gathering information about Nvidia. It was reported that China wanted information about Nvidia's advanced AI chips and business strategy. Notably, it was revealed that Jensen engaged in two extramarital affairs. One with an alleged Chinese intelligence operative and another with a subordinate executive, according to The Wall Street Journal. This came after The New York Times reported that Huang had maintained an undisclosed relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of health care.
