Jensen Huang was having a third affair, Reuters reports
FreeGet stories like this compared, every morning at 7.
Jensen Huang, the co-founder and long-time CEO of Nvidia, resigned from his position on Thursday following a series of reports regarding extramarital affairs. The controversy escalated from an initial admission of infidelity involving Alice Huang—a Chinese national and business partner suspected of being an intelligence operative—to reports of a second affair with Nvidia VP of Healthcare Kimberly Powell, and most recently, a third report from Reuters regarding an unnamed Nvidia employee. CFO Colette Kress has been named interim CEO as the company and industry grapple with the fallout. Beyond the personal scandal, the situation has triggered national security concerns regarding Huang's ties to China and raised questions about the stability of the broader AI industry, which has relied heavily on Nvidia's financing and Huang's leadership.
