Summary
Colette Kress told employees Nvidia will hold a companywide meeting on Nov. 18 at 9 a.m. PT, calling the period after Jensen Huang’s resignation “extraordinarily difficult.”
Harvey Jones, now board chair, said Huang also resigned from the board and that directors chose CFO Kress as interim CEO while they search for a permanent successor from internal and external candidates.
Jones described Kress, Nvidia’s CFO for more than 13 years, as a key architect of the company’s growth and capital strategy and said the board has full confidence in her leadership.
Both emails stressed continuity at the AI chipmaker, thanking staff for resilience and framing Nvidia’s role in accelerated computing and the AI economy as unchanged despite the leadership upheaval.
