Forecast Trend Report by Period
Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has resigned amid fallout from an affair controversy.
Bloomberg reported on Nov. 12 that Huang stepped down that day.
Nvidia's board on Nov. 12 named Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress interim CEO. Kress has worked at Nvidia for 13 years following stints at Cisco and Microsoft. Still, some view her as an unlikely long-term choice for the top job because she is a finance executive without an engineering background.
Attention is now turning to Huang's successor. Among external candidates, Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies Johny Srouji is being mentioned. Taiwanese media have also reported that AMD CEO Lisa Su is being discussed as a potential candidate.
