The US company Nvidia announced the leadership change on Thursday, 12 November 2026. Jensen Huang, the company's president, has resigned from his position. Colette Kress has taken his place as interim chief executive.
Ms Kress will lead the company until Nvidia names a permanent successor. The material we reviewed does not say when that decision will be made.
Who is Colette Kress
Colette Kress joined Nvidia in September 2013 as executive vice president and chief financial officer. When she started, the chipmaker's annual revenue stood at 4.13 billion dollars. In 2026 it was 215.9 billion dollars.
What happens next
The material we reviewed gives no reason for Mr Huang's resignation and does not name a potential permanent successor. Nvidia is one of the leading suppliers of advanced chips for data centres and artificial intelligence, so the market is following changes in its management closely. The company's further statements should explain how its leadership will look in the coming months.
