Nvidia names CFO Colette Kress interim CEO after Huang exit
The 63-year-old co-founder led the chipmaker for 33 years; the exit follows reports of two extramarital relationships, and the CFO now runs the company on an interim basis.
Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia's president, chief executive and board member, effective immediately, the company said on Thursday, 12 November 2026.
CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO and keep her finance role while the board searches for a permanent successor.
The exit follows reports of two extramarital relationships, one involving a business executive whom US intelligence officials are said to suspect of links to Chinese intelligence.
Reports differ on whether Huang resigned or was let go by the company's executive board.
Huang, 63, co-founded Nvidia and led it for 33 years.
