In a major development, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has stepped down from his position following a controversy surrounding his personal relationships. The decision comes after the company’s board reportedly discussed his future amid growing concerns over the issue.

The controversy began after reports emerged about Huang’s alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore based Megaspeed. US intelligence officials reportedly suspected her of having links to Chinese intelligence.

The issue soon became bigger after another report claimed that Huang had an affair with Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia executive who reportedly worked under him. These revelations brought fresh attention to the company’s internal investigation.

Huang had earlier admitted to being unfaithful to his wife in a message to Nvidia employees. He also apologised to his family and colleagues while taking responsibility for his actions. The company had meanwhile launched an independent investigation into the allegations.

Following the latest developments, Nvidia has appointed its Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as the interim CEO. The company is now expected to begin the search for a permanent replacement, with both internal and external candidates likely to be considered.

The development has also created concerns among investors, as Nvidia is one of the world’s most valuable technology companies and a major player in the artificial intelligence industry. Its shares reportedly fell sharply following the news.

Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has remained at the helm for more than three decades. His sudden exit marks a major turning point for the company, which has played a key role in the global AI boom.
