A high-profile executive scandal in Silicon Valley sent ripples across Malaysia’s stock market on Thursday 12 (Nov), proving that what happens in California does not stay in California when retirement funds and flagship data centres are on the line.
Nvidia Corp announced on Thursday that co-founder, president, and chief executive officer Jensen Huang resigned from all executive and board roles with immediate effect.
Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress was named interim chief executive officer.
Media reports stated that the resignation followed disclosures of two extramarital affairs, including one involving a Singapore-based technology executive suspected by United States officials of espionage for China, and another involving a senior Nvidia executive who reported directly to Huang.
