The unfolding Jensen Huang scandal: a timeline
Nvidia’s board accepted Huang’s resignation; CFO Colette Kress takes over as interim CEO while retaining her finance duties, according to the timeline.
TechCrunch reports that Huang admitted infidelity and backed an independent board investigation. U.S. officials suspect Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive linked to him, of spying for China; Megaspeed is also under investigation over suspected chip export violations. A separate report alleging an affair with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell remains unconfirmed by those involved. Nvidia plans to search for a permanent successor.
