Nvidia has appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as its interim chief executive officer following the resignation of co-founder Jensen Huang.

Huang stepped down during a week marked by allegations regarding extramarital affairs. The company stated that a search is underway to determine whether Kress will remain in the role permanently or if another candidate will be chosen for the full-time position.

Potential successors discussed in connection with the permanent post include Ian Buck, who oversees Nvidia artificial intelligence hardware and software, and Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas.

More details are expected as the story develops.
