Jensen Huang has resigned as president and CEO of Nvidia following revelations of a romantic affair with an alleged Chinese spy, triggering a national security crisis in the U.S. Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress as the interim CEO. Huang founded Nvidia in 1993 and led its rise to dominance in GPU technology, heavily steering the company toward AI and data center markets. Under his leadership, Nvidia's market cap surged to nearly $6 trillion, fueled by its central role in AI chip supply. Huang's departure raises uncertainty about Nvidia's future AI investments and strategic direction, given his strong influence on the company and absence of a formal succession plan. Nvidia’s shares have declined sharply amid the news, reflecting investor unease.
