## Key points

- Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia’s chief executive.
- CFO Colette Kress is interim CEO.
- The board faced pressure after reports of two affairs.

## Summary

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has resigned after more than three decades leading the company, following reports of two affairs, including one with an employee who reported directly to him. The podcast discusses how the allegations left the board under pressure to act and could distract Nvidia as it faces scrutiny over Huang’s advocacy for China and the destination of its chips.

Chief financial officer Colette Kress, who joined Nvidia in 2013, is taking over as interim chief executive. The hosts say the board and Huang may both have resisted his departure, but the second affair made the situation untenable, given company rules against relationships with direct reports. The episode also raises the question of whether Nvidia’s rivals could benefit from the leadership upheaval.
