Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO after Jensen Huang resigned, according to the article. She will remain CFO while the board searches for a permanent replacement. The article says Huang’s resignation followed reports of extramarital affairs and allegations involving a suspected Chinese intelligence operative; Nvidia’s board said it had no reason to believe company secrets or U.S. national security were compromised.
Kress joined Nvidia in 2013 and oversaw its finances as annual revenue rose from about $4.13 billion to $215.9 billion in fiscal 2026. She now faces questions about AI spending, U.S. restrictions on advanced chip exports to China, and a management structure built around Huang. Nvidia was scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings on November 17.
