Jensen Huang resigns as CEO of NVIDIA after the scandals of recent days, Colette Kress takes over

Finally, after today’s rumors about a possible expulsion of Jensen Huang, it seems that it was not necessary. The company’s former director himself has resigned from his position and Colette Kress has been appointed as interim CEO. There have also been changes on the board of directors, and Harvey C. Jones has been named first president.

The news did not come as a surprise, since the board of directors had met to decide the future of the former director, who despite recent events has managed to take the company to a privileged situation. The NVIDIA Board of Directors appreciates Jensen’s contributions to the company and the sector in general, but a series of decisions have led Jensen to take this path, leaving the company where he saw its birth and growth.

Colette Kress is the current executive vice president and chief financial officer of NVIDIA, who has accepted the role of director pending the arrival of a permanent successor. During this time Colette will have two important roles in the company, her current position and serving as interim CEO while they search for Jensen’s successor to lead NVIDIA permanently.

Kress has been at NVIDIA since September 2013, but previously worked for 25 years in important financial positions at companies such as Cisco and Microsoft. Since arriving at NVIDIA 13 years ago, he has played the same role.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors has received a new first Chairman of the Board, Harvey C. Jones.
