Colette Kress, Nvidia’s chief financial officer since September 2013, is serving as interim CEO following the immediate resignation of founder Jensen Huang on November 12, 2026. She will retain her CFO role until a permanent successor is appointed, while the board considers candidates from both inside and outside the company. Nvidia also created a board chair position and appointed Harvey C. Jones, a company director since 1993, formally separating board oversight from management. The company’s stock fell about 14% intraday after the announcement, reflecting concerns about the concentration of responsibility in Kress and uncertainty over the succession. Now 59, Kress has overseen a period in which Nvidia’s annual revenue rose from approximately $4.13 billion in 2014 to $215.9 billion in 2026.
