Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of tech giant Nvidia, the company’s board says, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed interim boss
The company’s shares have recovered some ground after initially plummeting more than 13% when US markets opened shortly after news of Huang’s resignation
It comes after the New York Times reported that he had a second affair with an executive at his own company
On Sunday, Huang admitted an affair with a woman, who was reportedly from another company and suspected to be a Chinese spy

Nvidia is already investigating the affair Huang has admitted, as is the FBI. What does Nvidia’s code of conduct say?
