Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns After Affair Allegations and Ouster Talks

Nvidia announced that CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, one day after reports surfaced alleging he had an affair with a subordinate, Kimberly Powell. A separate report said the board was meeting to consider removing him. Huang has led Nvidia since its founding and has been the public face of its central role in AI chip supply.

Why it matters: Nvidia supplies much of the hardware behind today's AI training and inference, so its leadership change is a material event for AI companies, cloud providers, and anyone planning around its roadmap.
