Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia's president, chief executive and board member, effective immediately, the company announced. The board appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO and Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever chair.

Kress will retain her finance responsibilities while serving as interim chief executive until a permanent successor is named. The board is starting a search that will consider internal and external candidates. Kress has led Nvidia's finance organization since joining in September 2013.

Jones said the board expects operations, customer commitments and the product roadmap to continue without interruption. Nvidia will report third-quarter fiscal 2027 results on November 17, as previously scheduled.
