Nvidia has lost the man who built it into one of the world's biggest companies. Jensen Huang has resigned as chief executive following reports about his personal relationships, leaving the AI chipmaker facing questions about what comes next. The company's finance chief has stepped in temporarily, but with Huang having dominated Nvidia for decades, questions are already being asked about succession, leadership and whether the company can thrive without him.
