Colette Kress Takes Interim Nvidia CEO Role After Jensen Huang Resigns
Nvidia chief financial officer Colette Kress is taking on the interim chief executive role following the resignation of Jensen Huang, according to two news reports.
The New York Times reported that Colette Kress, Nvidia's chief financial officer, is the company's interim chief executive, replacing Jensen Huang. The Times profile of Kress carries the headline "interim Nvidia CEO," and its summary states that Kress joined Nvidia in 2013.
The Hill separately reported that Kress is taking on the role after the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang. Its report on the interim chief executive identifies Kress as the person assuming the position and attributes the change to Huang's resignation.
Both reports name Kress in their headlines or summaries and tie the leadership change to Huang, so the identity of the interim chief executive is consistent across the two accounts. Both reports carry the publication date of November 12, 2026.
The two summaries agree on the central facts: Kress is the interim leader, and Huang is the chief executive she succeeds. They differ in emphasis. The Times centers on Kress's background at the company, while The Hill centers on the resignation that led to the change.
Neither summary states the reasons for Huang's resignation, when the change takes effect, or how long Kress will hold the interim role. Those details are not contained in the source material reviewed for this report.
This account is based only on the headlines and summaries of both reports and does not draw on other reporting.
