- Reports of a second alleged affair changed the board’s view of him.
- Colette Kress takes over as investors watch Nvidia’s direction.

## Summary

The article says Jensen Huang has stepped down as Nvidia chief executive after allegations about relationships with colleagues, including one woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. It argues that reports of a second alleged affair altered how the board and Silicon Valley viewed him, raising questions about his judgement and whether he had concealed his behaviour.

Huang co-founded Nvidia and led a company whose chips underpin powerful AI models, making his departure significant for the wider industry. Colette Kress, Nvidia’s finance chief for 13 years, is taking over for now; she will need to reassure investors that innovation can continue and key staff will stay. An investigation into Huang’s relationship is expected to continue, and its findings may influence his next steps.
