Colette Kress, 59, is serving as Nvidia’s interim CEO following Jensen Huang’s resignation while retaining her chief financial officer duties. She joined the company in 2013 after nearly 25 years at Texas Instruments, Microsoft and Cisco, and oversaw the increase in annual revenue from $4.13 billion in 2013 to $215.9 billion in 2026. As chief financial officer, she helped support Nvidia’s $6.9 billion acquisition of Mellanox and its investment strategy in companies buying artificial intelligence computing hardware, including an additional $2 billion investment in CoreWeave in January. Her main challenges are maintaining investor confidence, navigating US-China tensions and managing the transition within an organization historically built around Huang. Her first major public test will be Nvidia’s quarterly earnings report on November 17, 2026.
