Nvidia names Colette Kress interim CEO after Jensen Huang's exit

thehindu.com [$] —

Colette Kress has been named Nvidia's interim CEO after Jensen Huang resigned on November 13, 2026, amid reports of extramarital affairs and a Chinese spy scandal, with shares down over 30% from October's peak. Kress, a 13-year Nvidia veteran and chief financial officer since 2013, previously held finance roles at Cisco, Microsoft, and Texas Instruments. She holds a finance degree from the University of Arizona and an MBA from Southern Methodist University. Her net worth exceeded $1 billion at October's stock peak but has since fallen to roughly $750 million. Nvidia's board may still seek an external permanent successor, while Kress pledged to build on Huang's 33-year foundation.
