Jensen Huang Didn’t Name His Own Replacement as One of Tech’s Most Powerful Women
A recent WIRED investigation explored the complicated definition of “power” for women in the industry. Jensen Huang’s answers now appear to show his blind spots.
Colette Kress is currently the most powerful woman in tech as the interim CEO of Nvidia. Despite her crucial role, Jensen Huang, Nvidia's founder, did not mention her when discussing influential women in the tech industry. The story, published in WIRED, examined the discrepancy in the perception of power among women in a male-dominated field.
Kress, formerly Nvidia's CFO, was acknowledged for her significant contributions. Huang suggested Meta's Dina Powell and Google's Ruth Porat, as well as Lisa Su and Gwynne Shotwell. Notably, he did not include Kress, who plays a key role in Nvidia's financial decisions and is a central figure in the AI industry's future. Her absence from Huang's list underscores a recurring oversight in recognizing the power and influence of women in tech.
