Nvidia CEO and co-founder, Jensen Huang, resigned on Thursday in a stunning turn of events that upends the world’s second-most-valuable company and rattles one of the foundations of the AI economy. Finance chief Colette Kress will become interim CEO, Nvidia said in a statement. The move came three days after the board announced an independent investigation into reports that Huang was the target of a “foreign intelligence effort.” U.S. intelligence agencies reportedly concluded earlier this year that Huang had developed a close relationship with a woman they believed was spying for Beijing. Huang on Sunday also apologized to Nvidia employees for having an extramarital affair.

Nvidia’s cofounder and chief executive resigned on Thursday after the company opened an investigation into his affair with an alleged Chinese intelligence asset.

Reports say Jensen Huang had another extramarital affair with a senior executive of Nvidia, in addition to the relationship with a Chinese national Alice Huang, who was alleged recruited as an intelligence asset by the Chinese government.

The board is weighing the idea of naming a temporary chief while searching for a permanent one, the person said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public.

Well, that didn’t take long. Jensen Huang’s time as CEO of Nvidia appears to be coming to an end, according to multiple reports that the board was meeting Wednesday night to consider his future. Just three days ago, it announced an inquiry into whether he was the “target of a foreign intelligence effort,” but at the time the board said it had “confidence in Jensen.” It seems likely that confidence was undermined by a New York Times story on Wednesday that said Huang had had an affair with a company executive in addition to an industry executive who may also be a Chinese spy. If the board dumps Huang, it will demonstrate that no CEO is indispensable, no matter how vital their role is. Many observers had insisted the opposite in recent days, perhaps understandably. After all, Huang co-founded the company and still owned 3.6% of the stock, making him one of the biggest shareholders. As we wrote in this piece, he “has a hand in nearly every aspect of the company’s day-to-day operations.” Along with Sam Altman, he’s been probably the most articulate advocate for AI. Most importantly, his vision of the future has positioned Nvidia to benefit more than any other company from the AI boom, driving its market capitalization to a high of $5.8 trillion in early October, according to Koyfin.

Nvidia Board reportedly moves to expel Jensen Huang as stock tumbles on latest scandals and lack of succession plans at Nvidia.

As soon as Wednesday evening, Nvidia's board could decide to remove its founder and CEO of 33 years.
