So it has come to this.<\/p>\n
Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of gaming-GPU-turned-AI-company, NVIDIA, has resigned.<\/p>\n
This has come after reports that the embattled tech CEO was involve in multiple affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese spy.<\/p>\n
Jensen has still looked bullet-proof even when his affair with Alice Huang first came to light, and despite NVIDIA\u2019s board initiating an independent investigation. But the revelation of his second extra marital affair with an NVIDIA executive who reports directly to him, Kimberly Powell, surely must have forced the board\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, NVIDIA has appointed Colette Kress, the company\u2019s current chief finance officer, as its interim CEO while the board initiates a search for a permanent replacement. Investor Harvey Jones will also take over from Jensen as chair of the board.<\/p>\n
Colette has helped lead NVIDIA through a period of extraordinary growth and has a deep understanding of our business, customers, operations and financial position,\u201d said Harvey Jones, Chair of the NVIDIA Board of Directors. \u201cShe is supported by an experienced leadership team that has been instrumental in executing NVIDIA\u2019s strategy and advancing its technology roadmap. The Board has full confidence in Colette and the leadership team, and we expect the company\u2019s operations, customer commitments and product roadmap to continue without interruption.<\/p>\n
