Nvidia has replaced its CEO amid a high-profile scandal.
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has stepped down as CEO. His place was temporarily taken by the company's finance manager, Colette Kress. The board has already begun the search for a permanent leader and will consider both internal and external candidates.
The resignation comes amid a scandal surrounding Huang's personal life. There were media reports about two of his affairs, one of them with an employee of Nvidia itself.
The news also hurt the company's shares. After reports of Huang's departure, they fell nearly 10%. He led Nvidia from the day it was founded and for more than 30 years made it one of the main players in the artificial intelligence market.
