What happened

Jensen Huang resigned as president, CEO and board member of Nvidia on Thursday, effective immediately, after reports of a second extramarital affair.

The New York Times first reported that the 63-year-old had an affair with a senior executive who reported directly to him.

That came days after Huang acknowledged a relationship with a woman US intelligence agencies believe was spying for China, DW reported.

CFO Colette Kress is now interim CEO, and Bloomberg reported that the board is working with advisers to find a permanent successor.
