Nvidia's interim CEO Colette Kress clashed with Jensen Huang over risky AI bets

3dnews.ru (Russian) —

Jensen Huang criticized and belittled Nvidia CFO Colette Kress before stepping down as CEO, and she has now become interim CEO. Their conflict centered on risky financial guarantees for AI infrastructure deals. Kress opposed a program led by Huang's son-in-law offering credit support to cloud startups, questioning deal selection and return calculations. Nvidia pursued a $300 billion data center project with OpenAI, but Kress later reduced Nvidia's financial commitments from $250 billion to $105 billion. Huang left on November 12 amid a personal scandal involving alleged affairs. Nvidia faces federal investigations and will search for a permanent CEO internally and externally.
