Interim Nvidia CEO Colette Kress Has Tried to Tame Nvidia’s Riskiest Bets

Nvidia appointed longtime CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO after Jensen Huang’s sudden resignation, thrusting the finance veteran into a leadership role amid market uncertainty. Kress, who joined Nvidia in 2013 when it was a modest chip supplier for gamers, helped steer the company’s rise in the AI economy but previously had limited influence on major strategic decisions. The move underscores the importance of succession planning.
