Per Semafor, some NVIDIA board members are backing CFO Colette Kress as a potential interim CEO if Jensen Huang is forced to step down. Kress has been CFO since 2013, with over three decades in tech including finance leadership at Microsoft's Server and Tools division, and oversaw NVIDIA's transformation from gaming GPUs to dominant AI computing force. The poster adds that if the board doesn't defer to a shareholder vote, it signals how deep the rot goes.
