Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO since 2013, will serve as interim CEO while keeping her finance role until a permanent successor is named. Before Nvidia, she spent nearly 25 years in finance at companies including Cisco (CSCO) and Microsoft (MSFT). The board said it will consider internal and external candidates. It also appointed Harvey C. Jones, a former CEO and executive chairman of Synopsys, as its first-ever chair. Jones said the board expects operations, customer commitments and the product roadmap to continue without interruption.
The change lands days before Nvidia's results for the third quarter of fiscal 2027, which the company said will be released on November 17 as scheduled. Those results will be the first under interim leadership. Huang, who led Nvidia for 33 years, owns about 3.6% of the company.
