Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns Amid Scandal; Colette Kress Named Interim CEO
Nvidia (NVDA) has announced the resignation of co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang following reports of personal scandals involving company executives. The leadership transition comes amid significant market volatility, with Nvidia shares dropping over 8% in early trading after hitting intraday lows of more than 14%. Longtime CFO Colette Kress has been appointed as interim CEO to provide stability during the transition. Analysts note that while Huang's unique management style was central to the company's identity, Kress is a well-known figure in the investment community with deep experience in financial strategy and the AI ecosystem. The company faces heightened uncertainty ahead of its fiscal 2027 third-quarter earnings report scheduled for next Tuesday.
