> Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO after revelations of two extramarital relationships and allegations of Chinese espionage raised national security concerns. CFO Colette Kress is interim CEO as the company seeks a permanent replacement. No established evidence shows Huang knowingly assisted Beijing or that company secrets were compromised, and Nvidia’s board said it had no reason to believe national security was compromised.
