On 12 November, Nvidia, a major technology company from the United States, announced that Jensen Huang has resigned from all his main roles. Huang was Nvidia’s co-founder, president, chief executive, and board member. The company said its chief financial officer, Colette Kress, will temporarily lead Nvidia during the search for a new chief executive. Kress will still do her finance job while managing the company.

Jensen Huang helped make Nvidia an important company for technology. He was one of the people who started Nvidia, which began as a small company making special computer chips for graphics. Today, many companies use Nvidia’s chips to build artificial intelligence systems. Nvidia did not say why Huang resigned.

Because Huang left so suddenly, many people are unsure about the company’s future. Colette Kress is now leading Nvidia until the board finds a new leader. Nvidia said it will keep following its business plans and promises to customers during this change at the top.
