NVIDIA’s board announced that Jensen Huang has resigned as president, chief executive and a board member, effective immediately. Colette Kress, the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer since September 2013, will serve as interim chief executive while remaining CFO, and the board, which has appointed Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever chair, will consider internal and external candidates for a permanent chief executive. On 8 November the board had opened an independent investigation into reports that Huang had been the target of a foreign intelligence effort; the release gives no reason for his resignation.

Why it matters

Customers and shareholders now have an interim chief executive while the board searches for a permanent one, and third-quarter fiscal 2027 results are due on 17 November.
