Nvidia has appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO following Jensen Huang's resignation, which came amid reports of two extramarital affairs, one involving a suspected Chinese spy. The Wall Street Journal reported that Huang had previously berated Kress in a summer meeting, calling her "a deer in the headlights" and suggesting she was better suited to reporting numbers than shaping strategy. Kress had also reportedly pushed back on some of Huang's decisions, including scaling back Nvidia's commitment to a large OpenAI data center deal and questioning financing arrangements tied to customers who couldn't afford Nvidia's chips.
