Huang family and friends huddle for Nvidia crisis talks as bags of fried chicken are delivered to $38m San Francisco mansion
Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia’s chief executive with immediate effect after reports of several affairs, including relationships with two Nvidia employees and an alleged Chinese spy. His departure places the leadership of one of the world’s most consequential technology companies in transition, while drawing attention to the personal and professional fallout from the revelations.
Huang, 63, had led Nvidia as a co-founder; CFO Colette Kress will temporarily succeed him. The company’s board described his contributions as “profound”. The article reports that friends and family gathered at Huang’s $38 million San Francisco home, where food was delivered and a van collected boxes addressed to a UPS Store in Oakland. Huang has apologised to his wife and children for his unfaithfulness; a third reported affair was not publicly identified.
