Colette Kress, Nvidia’s chief financial officer, has been named interim CEO following Jensen Huang’s resignation, making her the first person other than Huang to lead the chipmaker since its founding in 1993. Kress joined Nvidia as CFO in 2013 and has overseen its finances through its rise from a gaming chip specialist to a $4 trillion AI powerhouse. She became one of the company’s most visible executives, regularly leading earnings calls and explaining Nvidia’s data centre growth to investors. Before Nvidia, Kress was a senior finance executive at Cisco and served as CFO of Microsoft’s Server and Tools division. She began her career at Texas Instruments, where she spent more than a decade. Kress holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Arizona and an MBA from Southern Methodist University. Her first major test comes quickly, with Nvidia due to report quarterly earnings on November 17.
