## Key points

- Jensen Huang has stepped down from Nvidia.
- Colette Kress is interim chief executive.
- Three Israeli executives have been named as possible successors.

## Summary

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang resigned on 12 November after leading the AI chipmaker for more than three decades. The departure took effect immediately, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed interim chief executive as the board considers internal and external candidates.

Israeli media have identified three possible successors: Nvidia technology chief Michael Kagan, former Mellanox chief Eyal Waldman and Apple hardware chief Johny Srouji. Huang’s resignation followed reports about personal relationships and a possible foreign intelligence operation, but Nvidia has not said these reports caused his departure or that company secrets were compromised. The transition comes as Nvidia’s chips are central to the AI race and its China business faces scrutiny amid US export controls.
