The company’s confirmed statement
Nvidia’s newsroom and investor release state that the resignation took effect immediately. Kress will continue as executive vice president and chief financial officer while serving as interim chief executive. The board said it would consider internal and external candidates for the permanent role.
Leadership and continuity
The release identifies Harvey C. Jones as the board’s first chair and expresses confidence in the existing leadership team. It says operations, customer commitments and the product roadmap are expected to continue without interruption. This is the company’s stated expectation, rather than an independently established forecast.
Separate confirmation from speculation
Lists of possible successors are not appointments. The reviewed release names an interim leader but does not identify a permanent successor. It also does not provide a basis for treating every circulating account of internal discussions as fact. Further board announcements and the scheduled financial-results discussion will be the relevant next developments for customers, employees and observers.
