Some NVIDIA employees called for co-founder Jensen Huang to return as CEO after he resigned on November 12, 2026, amid reports of extramarital affairs. WIRED reported that the resignation came while an internal investigation was still at an early stage; Huang had admitted to infidelity but had not publicly addressed the other allegations.
A post in NVIDIA’s internal suggestion system drew more than 1,600 comments, many calling for his reinstatement. NVIDIA named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO and former Synopsys chief Harvey Jones chairman of the board.
