Who is Colette Kress? Meet Nvidia’s interim CEO
Jensen Huang is out as Nvidia CEO, and Colette Kress is stepping into his role. But why was Kress the choice, and who is she?
Colette Kress has officially become the interim CEO of Nvidia, replacing Jensen Huang, whose personal affairs have led the board to oust him from the company he co-founded. Kress, who joined Nvidia in 2013, has spent her entire career at the company, serving as executive vice president and CFO before taking on the interim CEO role.
With 25 years of finance experience across major technology firms like Microsoft and Cisco, Kress is well-equipped to steer Nvidia through its current challenges, including the AI boom and stock declines. Nvidia's board praised Kress, stating she has a deep understanding of the company's business, customers, operations, and financial position.
As both interim CEO and CFO, Kress will retain her CFO position for the foreseeable future. The board expressed full confidence in Kress and her leadership team, ensuring the company's operations, customer commitments, and product roadmap will continue uninterrupted.
