NVIDIA's co-founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, has resigned from his position, with immediate effect. This marks the end of an era for the company. Huang has also stepped down from the Board of Directors. Colette Kress, NVIDIA's current Vice President and CFO, will serve as interim CEO until the company identifies a permanent successor.
Harvey C. Jones, previously the CEO and Executive Chairman at Synopsys, has been appointed as the company's first-ever Chair of the Board. Colette Kress has previously led NVIDIA through a period of significant growth and possesses a deep understanding of the business, customers, operations, and financial position. The Board is currently seeking a permanent CEO and expects operations, customer commitments, and product roadmap to continue uninterrupted under Kress' leadership.
The past week has been challenging for Huang, who apologized for an affair with a former executive of a Singapore-based cloud computing company and another affair with a NVIDIA staff member. Huang's contributions to NVIDIA are highly valued, and the company expresses gratitude for his immense contributions to the industry.
