Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly stepping down after leading the company for more than three decades. Reports emerging on November 12 say CFO Colette Kress will take over as interim CEO.

The development comes amid growing attention over reports about Huang's personal relationships. One report linked him to Alice Huang, a former executive associated with Singapore-based Megaspeed International. US intelligence officials reportedly suspected her of having connections to Chinese intelligence, though these claims have not been established.

Another report by The New York Times alleged that Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia executive who reportedly worked under him. Reuters said it could not independently verify the allegation.

Huang had earlier addressed the personal controversy in a message to Nvidia employees, admitting that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologising to his family and colleagues. The company's board also reportedly launched an independent investigation into concerns surrounding possible foreign intelligence links.

Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and played a major role in turning it into one of the world's most influential technology companies. Its processors have become central to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence.

His reported exit marks a significant development for Nvidia at a time when the company remains a major force in the global AI industry.
