United States: Jensen Huang officially stepped down as the CEO of Nvidia on Thursday, the company announced in a release.
The resignation is set to take effect immediately.
Nvidia's current Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Colette Kress has been appointed as interim CEO.
Huang faced growing calls to resign after his affair with an alleged Chinese spy raised national security concerns in US. Late Wednesday, media reports said Huang had another extramarital affair with an Nvidia employee who reports to him.
Shares of Nvidia, one of the largest companies in the world, plunged 10 per cent in premarket trading Thursday.
