Huang's abrupt departure comes amid a broad investigation into allegations of foreign intelligence targeting and personal indiscretions. Kress, who has been with Nvidia for 13 years, is viewed as a potential successor to the 33-year tenure of Huang. She previously held finance roles at Cisco and Microsoft, and has also contributed to companies like Texas Instruments. Kress assumed interim CEO duties following Huang's resignation, which took effect immediately. The board has initiated a search for a permanent CEO, considering both internal and external candidates. Nvidia's share price plummeted by over 10% in premarket trading following the news of Huang's resignation.",
