NVIDIA’s board accepted founder Jensen Huang’s immediate resignation as CEO, president, and director on November 11 amid reports of extramarital affairs, including one with a woman U.S. intelligence linked to Chinese espionage concerns and another with a direct report. The board named longtime CFO Colette Kress interim CEO while retaining her finance role and appointed director Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever chair, signaling structural stabilization rather than further upheaval. Traders are monitoring whether additional directors exit during the ongoing CEO search, which will consider internal and external candidates, ahead of the November 17 earnings report and a November 18 all-hands meeting. The episode highlights governance risks at the leading AI accelerator company amid intense competitive and regulatory scrutiny.
