## Summary

NVIDIA has appointed Collette Kress, its executive vice-president and chief financial officer, as interim chief executive after founder Jensen Huang resigned. The leadership change comes amid scrutiny of Huang’s personal relationships and leaves Kress responsible for steering the company through a period of uncertainty.

Kress spent 25 years in finance roles at Texas Instruments, Microsoft and Cisco before joining NVIDIA in 2013. The company’s annual revenue has since risen from $4.28 billion when she arrived to a record $215.9 billion in fiscal 2026. NVIDIA’s board will consider internal and external candidates for the permanent role, while Huang is expected to testify at a congressional hearing before Thanksgiving.
