Why did Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resign, and who is Colette Kress?
An Al Jazeera and Reuters report says Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang resigned on 12 November 2026 following revelations of extramarital affairs and scrutiny over possible Chinese intelligence targeting, with CFO Colette Kress appointed interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement. Donald Trump defended Huang and suggested Tim Cook as his successor, while analysts said the exit could unsettle employees and customers of a company estimated to control 90 percent of the advanced AI chip market.
