Who Is Colette Kress, Jensen Huang's Successor as Nvidia CEO?

Colette Kress, Nvidia's 59-year-old CFO, was named interim CEO after Jensen Huang's abrupt resignation amid reports of extramarital affairs and allegations involving a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. Kress will remain CFO while the board searches for a permanent replacement; she joined Nvidia in 2013 after roles at Texas Instruments, Microsoft and Cisco. Nvidia's annual revenue grew from about $4.13 billion when Kress joined to $215.9 billion in fiscal 2026, and the company had already lost roughly $1.27 trillion in market value from its October peak.
