Some Nvidia employees are calling for Jensen Huang's return after his resignation

Colette Kress, the CFO of Nvidia who challenged CEO Jensen Huang's risky ambitions, has been appointed as the interim CEO of the chipmaker while the search for a permanent successor is ongoing. Kress, 59, is known for her pragmatic approach in contrast to Huang's confrontational style. She has been described as a calming force during the tumultuous period following Huang's resignation amid scandal.

Kress joined Nvidia in 2013 after a long career at other tech giants such as Microsoft, Cisco, and Texas Instruments. While many investors and analysts question whether Kress can maintain the technological risk-taking that propelled Nvidia to its current AI chips dominance, she is expected to approach government relations more diplomatically, focusing on capital building and building relationships rather than fighting export control issues.
