Jensen Huang resigns as NVIDIA CEO: what it means for your PCs

NVIDIA announced on 12 November 2026 (US time) that Jensen Huang has resigned as President, CEO and board member, effective immediately. Colette Kress, the company's CFO, is now interim CEO while the board looks for a permanent one. For a Malaysian office, nothing changes for the NVIDIA graphics cards and AI chips already in your PCs and servers.

What NVIDIA announced

The announcement came from NVIDIA's Board of Directors on its newsroom. NVIDIA says:

• Jensen Huang has stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer and has left the board, with immediate effect.
• Colette Kress, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since September 2013, is Interim CEO. She keeps her CFO job at the same time.
• The board is searching for a permanent CEO and will look at people inside and outside the company.
• Harvey C. Jones, a former CEO and Executive Chairman of Synopsys, has been named the first Chair of the NVIDIA board.
• NVIDIA will still report its third quarter results for fiscal 2027 on Tuesday 17 November at about 1.20pm US Pacific time, which is about 5.20am on Wednesday 18 November in Malaysia.

NVIDIA did not give reasons for the resignation in its announcement. The new board chair said the board expects "the company's operations, customer commitments and product roadmap to continue without interruption."

What this means for you

A change at the top of a chip company does not change the hardware you already own. GeForce and RTX graphics cards in office PCs, NVIDIA cards in design workstations and NVIDIA chips in servers keep working the same way. Keep installing driver updates from NVIDIA's own website or from your PC maker, as you normally would. Do not download "urgent" NVIDIA updates sent by email or chat links, as scammers often use big news to push fake downloads.

If you plan to buy PCs, workstations or AI servers with NVIDIA parts in the coming months, supply and prices are worth watching. Ask your supplier for a quotation with a clear validity date and confirm stock before you commit. NVIDIA's quarterly results on 18 November (Malaysia time) may give more detail about its plans.
