CHICAGO — Following Jensen Huang's resignation on Thursday, Nvidia has appointed Colette Kress as its interim CEO. Kress, a long-time executive at the California-based chipmaker, joined the company in 2013 and has served as its executive vice president and CFO ever since. Now, amid the company's most challenging period, Kress will assume the top position.
Huang, who co-founded Nvidia over three decades ago, stepped down after reports surfaced of his extramarital affairs earlier in the week. He faced mounting pressure to resign after The New York Times reported on his alleged relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, and later, other media outlets revealed he had another affair with an Nvidia employee.
In a statement regarding her new role as CEO, Kress emphasized that Nvidia's strength lies in its people and expressed her commitment to building upon the foundation laid by Huang over the past 33 years.
