Jensen Huang is leaving the leadership of Nvidia effective immediately. Colette Kress, Nvidia's chief financial officer, is temporarily taking charge of the company, while a permanent successor has yet to be appointed.
It's official, Jensen Huang is no longer CEO of Nvidia. The man submitted his resignation this Thursday, November 12, 2026, with immediate effect. Jensen Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993. A page is turning in the tech sector.
This Thursday, November 12, 2026, the Nvidia board of directors held a meeting to decide the fate of Jensen Huang. It was ultimately Jensen Huang himself who submitted his resignation with immediate effect. Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO since 2013, has agreed to temporarily serve as CEO of Nvidia until a permanent successor is named.
As a reminder, Jensen Huang admitted to having had an extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, director of the Singaporean company Megaspeed. In addition to personal problems, American authorities suspect Alice Huang of being a spy in the service of China. Subsequently, Donald Trump defended Jensen Huang and the FBI opened an investigation. But that's not all since we learned that the now ex-manager of Nvidia also had a relationship with an employee of the company. The situation being too sensitive, Jensen Huang therefore resigned. It remains to be seen whether this was the result of an agreement with the board or whether Jensen Huang simply took the lead before the Nvidia board decided to oust him. Jensen Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993. An important page is therefore turning for the company.
Nvidia's board of directors will now have to elect a new CEO. According to Bloomberg, Nvidia has already used an external company to identify candidates for the position of CEO.
