From CFO to the CEO seat
Nvidia's leadership change is now official. Colette Kress, who served as the company's chief financial officer for years, has stepped in as interim CEO after Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday.
Kress is credited as one of the figures who helped turn Nvidia into one of the largest suppliers of AI hardware in recent years. While managing the company's finances, she was also influential in shaping its growth strategy.
What the interim appointment means
The "interim" title signals that the board has not yet completed its process of naming a permanent CEO. In the meantime, Kress is expected to run day-to-day operations.
At a company at the center of AI infrastructure like Nvidia, a top-level leadership change will be closely watched for its impact on the supply chain, customer relationships and investor confidence.
