NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang exit triggers a leadership and governance crisis

Huang resigned immediately on Nov. 12, with CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and no permanent successor named; reporting says the board approached Arm CEO Rene Haas, but no appointment is confirmed. Two major investors reportedly urged the board to consider Huang’s return, adding stakeholder pressure but not establishing a board response. Mark Stevens’s reported $946 million share sales do not establish wrongdoing; congressional scrutiny and an independent inquiry remain in focus.
