  "account": "Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang, resigned on November 13, 2026 amid allegations of extramarital affairs involving an Nvidia executive and a woman suspected to be a Chinese spy. Following Huang's departure, Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO, has been appointed as interim CEO to take charge of the company. Kress, a 13-year veteran of Nvidia, joined the company in September 2013 as executive vice president and CFO. She has held her current position since then and has appeared alongside Huang on the company's quarterly earnings calls. Before joining Nvidia, Kress worked at major tech companies including Cisco, Microsoft, and Texas Instruments. Kress holds a bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Arizona and an MBA from Southern Methodist University. With Nvidia's stock surge over the past decade, Kress became one of the wealthiest executives in the world, ranking No. 32 on Forbes' 2026 list of America's richest self-made women. Nvidia's shares saw a significant drop of over 30% from their October peak following Huang's resignation and the ongoing investigation into the spy scandal.",
