Colette Kress, a long-time executive at Nvidia, has been appointed as the interim CEO following the resignation of the company's founder and CEO, Jensen Huang. Kress, who has been with Nvidia since 2013, served as the executive vice president and CFO of the company. With the resignation of Huang, who co-founded the tech giant over three decades ago, Nvidia finds itself in its most challenging period yet.
Huang's decision to step down was prompted by reports of extramarital affairs that came to light this week. The New York Times initially reported on his relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, and subsequently, other outlets revealed that Huang had had another affair with an Nvidia employee. In her statement announcing her new role as interim CEO, Kress emphasized that Nvidia's success has always been rooted in its people and expressed her commitment to building upon the strong foundation created by Huang over the past 33 years.
