On November 12, 2026, NVIDIA announced that its co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Jensen Huang, had resigned from his position with immediate effect.
Following his resignation, NVIDIA appointed Colette Kress, the company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as the Interim CEO. She will continue to serve as CFO while leading the company until a permanent successor is appointed.
The leadership change followed mounting calls for Huang’s resignation after allegations regarding an affair with an alleged Chinese spy surfaced.
NVIDIA is a leading American technology company known for its Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), artificial intelligence (AI) chips and accelerated computing technologies.
