Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned on November 12, 2026, following revelations of extramarital affairs, including one with a woman U.S. intelligence suspected of being a Chinese spy.

Nvidia announced Thursday that CEO Jensen Huang resigned effective immediately and that CFO Colette Kress would serve as interim CEO. The resignation followed reports of two extramarital affairs, one with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive whom U.S. intelligence officials suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset, and another with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. Nvidia shares fell about 10% in premarket trading, and the board appointed Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever chairman.
