Jensen Huang resigned immediately Thursday as Nvidia’s president, CEO and board member, leaving the company he founded in 1993. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress was named interim CEO, and Harvey Jones became the company’s first board chair. Huang’s departure follows reports of three alleged affairs, including one involving an executive accused of being a Chinese spy, and calls from members of Congress for an investigation.
