Jensen Huang Watch posted an update
Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia’s chief executive, with chief financial officer Colette Kress named interim CEO, The Information reports. The change puts leadership of a company central to the AI chip supply chain into transition.
Why it mattersHindustan Times also reports Huang’s resignation. The Information says Nvidia is searching for a permanent successor; the next question is how quickly the company can settle on one, and what the change means for its direction. A leadership handover at Nvidia is no small calendar update.
Discuss: Should Nvidia prioritise continuity with an internal successor, or look outside the company for its next chief executive?

Jensen Huang Watch Update What changedThe Information reports that venture capitalists, startup founders and semiconductor executives expect Nvidia to pull back from its fast-moving dealmaking after Jensen Huang’s departure. That could leave AI startups and smaller cloud providers with a less reliable source of backing.
The scale is striking: The Information says Nvidia’s dealmaking totalled $140 billion, including credit guarantees, in just two months this year. The figure covers activity over that period, not a forecast of how much funding will disappear.
Among the deals at stake, Nvidia plans to put $10 billion into Anthropic’s initial public offering next week, according to The Information.
That is a reported concern from people in the sector, not confirmation that Nvidia has changed its investment plans.
