Jensen Huang stepped down as the chief executive of Nvidia on Thursday, four days after the company announced its internal investigation into an affair he had with Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, an alleged asset of China’s Ministry of State Security.
“Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately,” the Nvidia board said in a statement. Nvidia’s chief financial officer, Colette Kress, will serve as interim CEO. The board said it “will consider internal and external candidates” for a permanent replacement.
