Jensen Huang quits Nvidia; non-invasive treatment for kidney tumours: SCMP’s 7 highlights
What happened
Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's chief executive and left its board on Thursday, four days after the company opened an investigation into his affair with Alice Huang, according to Wired.
Colette Kress, the chief financial officer, will serve as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor, considering both internal and external candidates.
Harvey Jones, former Synopsys CEO, was named Nvidia's first-ever chair of the board.
Alice Huang is an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, a major Nvidia customer. US intelligence officials believe she works for China's intelligence services, according to The Wall Street Journal; the Chinese government rejects the claims.
The New York Times also reported a second affair, with a senior Nvidia executive who reported to Huang. Nvidia's shares fell almost 8% in premarket trading Thursday.
President Donald Trump said the FBI is also investigating. A source told Wired the alleged relationship with a subordinate and the Megaspeed dealings likely mattered more to the board than the espionage claims.
“Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately”
