Nvidia said on November 12, 2026, that Jensen Huang resigned as president, CEO, and a board member after misconduct allegations tied to personal relationships and possible corporate and national security risks. The company said Colette Kress is now interim CEO, Harvey C. Jones has been named chair, and the board has begun a search for a permanent replacement.
The New York Times reported that Jensen Huang had an affair with Alice Huang of Singapore-based Megaspeed and, on October 29, connected that relationship to possible Chinese espionage, though no final public conclusion has been reported. Reuters said executives questioned Jensen Huang in the fall of 2025 and again in October 2026, that Jensen Huang described the relationship as appropriate and business-related, and that verified photos showed Jensen Huang and Alice Huang together as early as December 2023 in both the U.S. and China. After Jensen Huang admitted the affair to staff on November 8, The New York Times and Reuters reported two more alleged affairs, including one involving Kimberly Powell. Reuters also reported that Jensen Huang considered legal action against The New York Times, but no suit was filed.
If you follow Nvidia closely, this is one to watch. Reuters reported that Nvidia’s stock has lost billions in market value, the board and the U.S. Department of Justice are investigating, China has denied involvement, and analysts think AMD and Broadcom could benefit if succession questions and damage control keep distracting Nvidia.
For the latest, keep an eye on Nvidia’s official statements and major filings.
The latest reporting adds a sharper timeline to the fallout around Jensen Huang’s exit, especially the alleged Singapore link and the later questions from executives and investigators. It also shows how the story widened from a personal scandal into a broader governance and security issue, with the market reaction and succession scramble now moving in parallel. That context is what makes the earlier account of Jensen Huang’s resignation worth revisiting.
