Nvidia Board Has Not Selected a Firm for Permanent CEO Search

The update corrects an earlier account that said an outside firm had been engaged. The board appointed CFO Colette Kress interim CEO after Jensen Huang’s departure.

Nvidia’s board has not selected an outside firm to help find a permanent successor to former CEO Jensen Huang. That corrects an earlier account of the candidate search, which said a firm had been engaged and listed eight potential contenders.

Huang resigned as Nvidia’s president, CEO and a board member. The board appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress interim CEO, and she retained her finance role during the transition.

The earlier account identified Kress and Nvidia Vice President Ian Buck as internal candidates. Buck oversees Nvidia’s hyperscale AI hardware and software business and joined the company in 2004.
