Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang resigned as president and CEO on November 12, 2026, effective immediately, following reports of affairs, one with a suspected Chinese spy; CFO Colette Kress became interim CEO. Harvey C. Jones was named the company's first Chair of the Board, and Nvidia said operations and product plans would continue uninterrupted. Reports said the board had met to consider removing him after a second affair surfaced, and shares fell nearly 10% before recovering by about the same amount. Tim Sweeney called ousting him idiocy and Elon Musk said hiring him would be an honor. Trump said Tim Cook should replace him, while a US House China committee chairman said the next CEO must prioritize national security. Commentators also discussed what the exit means for GeForce and PC gaming.
