NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Resigns; CFO Colette Kress Takes Interim Role

gizmodo.jp (Japanese) —

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned after 33 years, with CFO Colette Kress appointed as interim CEO, following a scandal involving the founder. The move raises questions about the company's future direction and innovation under new leadership. Huang built NVIDIA into a trillion-dollar AI chip giant, known for his hands-on leadership with 60 direct reports and a flat organizational structure. His passion for products like the Nvidia Shield and aggressive promotion of technologies such as DLSS drove the company's dominance in gaming and AI. Kress, who joined in 2013 after roles at Microsoft and Cisco, has little public profile beyond financial matters. NVIDIA is reportedly considering Apple hardware chief Johnny Srouji as permanent CEO, though Apple may resist losing him. The company's consumer GPU and Shield TV lines face uncertain futures.
