NVIDIA’s board said Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO, president, and board member, effective immediately. Colette Kress, the longtime CFO, is stepping in as interim CEO while the board runs a search for a permanent replacement. She will keep the CFO title at the same time. Harvey C. Jones, a longtime director and former Synopsys CEO, has been named the company’s first board chair. Huang co-founded NVIDIA and ran it for 33 years as it became the central supplier in the AI boom. The company says operations, customer commitments, and the product roadmap will continue without interruption. The practical gap is that the person most identified with NVIDIA’s public direction is gone while the search is still open and earnings are still scheduled for next week. Continuity of the existing team is now the stated plan. Whether that is enough without Huang is the open question the board just created.
