Who Is The New CEO Of Nvidia?

Colette Kress is Nvidia’s new chief executive on an interim basis, after co-founder Jensen Huang resigned with immediate effect on Thursday. Kress has been Nvidia’s chief financial officer since September 2013 and will keep that role during the transition. She guided the company’s finances through its rise into the world’s leading AI chipmaker and is a familiar face to investors from earnings calls. Before Nvidia, she spent about 25 years in finance roles at major tech firms, including Cisco and Microsoft. Kress becomes the first person other than Huang to lead Nvidia since its founding in 1993. The company also named former Synopsys CEO Harvey C. Jones as its first board chair. The board is searching for a permanent CEO and will look at internal and external candidates, with reports naming Apple hardware chief Johny Srouji among possible choices. Kress said she will build on the foundation Huang created over 33 years. Her first major test is Nvidia’s earnings report on November 17.
