Forecast Trend Report by Period
Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has resigned following fallout from an affair controversy.
Bloomberg reported on November 12 that Huang stepped down that day.
Nvidia's board appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO on November 12. Kress has worked at Nvidia for 13 years after stints at Cisco and Microsoft. However, there is analysis that she may be a difficult long-term choice for the CEO role because she is a finance specialist without an engineering background.
Market attention is now focused on 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.
