Nvidia's board announced Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO, president and board member, effective immediately, after reports of two extramarital affairs — one with an alleged Chinese spy, one with an Nvidia executive reporting to him. CFO Colette Kress (at Nvidia since 2013, ex-Cisco/Microsoft) becomes interim CEO, and former Synopsys CEO Harvey C. Jones is appointed the company's first-ever board chair. The release includes no statement from Huang.
