Developing story, updated as details confirm.

What happened

Nvidia’s board accepted Jensen Huang’s resignation as president, CEO and director on November 11, 2026, effective immediately, according to its Form 8-K. Nvidia’s November 12 announcement gives no reason. CFO Colette Kress is interim CEO, director Harvey C. Jones becomes board chair. Jones said the board expects “operations, customer commitments and product roadmap to continue without interruption.”

On November 12, Rep. Richard Neal and Sen. Ron Wyden told Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick they are “beginning an investigation” into the approval of Nvidia H200 sales to Chinese companies, and asked Commerce to preserve records. The letter changes no export rule.

Who’s affected
