Ahead of Nvidia’s board of directors voting to remove him from office, and in the wake of controversy, CEO and founder Jensen Huang has announced his resignation.

Nvidia’s board had continued to back Huang after the initial news of his affair with a suspected Chinese spy. But that changed after a second affair was revealed, and after the firm’s market valuation dropped by over $800 billion.
The board then held a meeting on November 11, 2026, and while no details were revealed immediately after that, it has now been followed by Huang’s resignation.
