  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has not named a successor, but two individuals are considered likely candidates for the position: Ian Buck, a top engineer, and Colette Kress, the CFO. The board is meeting on Wednesday to discuss ousting Huang due to reports of extramarital affairs involving him. Huang is known for his charismatic leadership and role in transforming the company into a leader in AI. Analysts suggest that Kress, having worked at major tech firms like Microsoft and Cisco, would be a familiar and trusted choice if Huang were to step down. However, Buck's technical expertise and role in developing Nvidia's AI hardware and software products make him a strong candidate to guide the company's development.",
