黄仁勋辞任英伟达CEO：CFO科莉特·克罗丝临时接掌帅印

Jensen Huang (pictured) resigned from his roles as president, CEO and a member of the board at Nvidia effective immediately the company revealed, with CFO Colette Kress named as interim chief. The chipmaker’s board met last night after it was reported yesterday (11 November) Huang had an affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese agent and another relationship with an Nvidia executive. The freefall of one of the most prominent technology executives is a stunning turn of events for the head of a company which is at the heart of the global AI investment boom. Huang, 63, had been with Nvidia since he co-founded the company in 1993. He presided over Nvidia during its meteoric rise over the past several years. As far as influential CEOs go, the best current comparison is SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, or, from the past, Apple chief Steve Jobs. The board appointed Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever chair of the board. Jones has been an entrepreneur, technology executive, and active venture investor for over 30 years, including serving as CEO and executive chair of Synopsys. Prior to the move, analyst Jack Gold stated this morning Huang has “structured the company basically around him, with no real leadership team to take over if he leaves”. “The market is focused on a succession plan for the company, which doesn’t exist,” Gold stated in a research note. “So, if he’s gone, what does that mean for the structure and performance of management of the company? I think that’s the real concern, and it should be.” Tech analyst Dan Ives posted on X the board had no choice, but noted it is a “dark chapter for Jensen and Nvidia”. Huang cultivated a close relationship with US President Donald Trump over the past few years, as he lobbied Trump to allow the company to sell some of its lower-end chips in China. Nvidia is also a large contributor to Trump’s White House ballroom project. Kress Kress has regularly appeared on Nvidia’s earnings calls. She had executive career stops at Cisco and Microsoft prior to joining the chipmaker in 2013. “Colette has helped lead Nvidia through a period of extraordinary growth and has a deep understanding of our business, customers, operations and financial position,” Jones stated. “She is supported by an experienced leadership team that has been instrumental in executing Nvidia’s strategy and advancing its technology roadmap.” The post Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO, CFO Kress named interim chief appeared first on Mobile World Live .
