On November 12, Nvidia CEO and founder Jensen Huang resigned from the tech giant effective immediately following a public scandal. Nvidia has already named Huang’s successors and stated that its ongoing operations and commitments will not be affected by the change in leadership.
Jensen Huang is Out as Nvidia CEO
Although Huang managed to lead Nvidia to have complete control of the PC gaming market, his time with the company he founded is now up. Nvidia stated that Huang resigned after 33 years of service. The company’s current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Collete Kress, has been named Nvidia’s interim CEO alongside her current duties as EVP and CFO until a permanent successor to Huang’s position can be formally chosen. Along with Kress’ new post, Nvidia also named its first Chair of the Board, as Synopsys CEO and Executive Chairman Harvey C. Jones was named to the post. The decision came after Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair, for which he formally apologized in a letter to all Nvidia staff members on November 8. It is unclear what Huang’s next career move will be following his departure from Nvidia.
