Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang officially resigns after second affair allegation surfaces
Jensen Huang has just resigned from Nvidia following a second affair allegation made against the tech mogul.
The CEO and co-founder of the AI firm recently revealed in an email to employees that he had been having an affair, writing: “There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”
At the time, the tech boss continued: “Leading Nvidia is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to Nvidia and will work to earn back your confidence.”
Fears over national security were raised after reports that the woman Huang had an affair with, Alice Huang, is a suspected Chinese spy.

The Nvidia board of directors have released a statement to confirm that Huang will be departing the firm, paying tribute to his ‘profound’ contribution.
In the statement, it read: “Jensen’s contributions to Nvidia are profound. Nvidia is one of the most consequential technology companies in the world. The board and the company thank Jensen for his immeasurable contributions to the company and the industry.”
The board of directors did not mention the affair allegations.
